Profile Information
- Do you have your own website, blog, forum or social network?
- http://www.traveltocare.com
- what is your website/blog/forum/social network for?
- traveltocare.com is a company based in India that is focused on helping independent travellers obtain inspirational holiday information and book sustainable and responsible hotels and holidays in both the most popular and least discovered places in India & the rest of Asia.
On our website, you can choose from a wide variety of accommodations – homestay hideaways, heritage hotels & palaces, rural farms, beach villas, jungle lodges, spa retreats, and even tree-houses. If you prefer to have a local travel agent plan your trip for you, then select one of many available itineraries from our trusted tour operator partners (to be listed in a few months) who more often than not use the same hotels as those displayed on our site.
We choose our hotel and tour operator partners based on an exhaustive screening process. We evaluate their degree of commitment and practice of sustainable and responsible tourism, the authenticity of the experience, and the aesthetic values of the hotel or the trip. In destinations that are popular and overrun with mass tourism, we want to offer you those partners who stand out from the crowd and make a significant difference to their environment or community. And we want to spotlight those hotels and operators whose pioneering efforts are allowing all of us to discover new and fascinating places.
We are not a travel agent or a tour operator. We are an online information and booking service providing a bridge between you, the traveller, and local tourism providers who want to make a difference in the way that you experience travel for leisure. Our website is designed to offer you rich information, inspire you to contact one of our members directly using our online interface, and book directly with them.

UK too reliant on imported food? 3 Replies
