As we step into the vibrant landscapes of 2024, we're thrilled to share some exciting updates regarding our trekking experiences at Orangutan Trekking and throughout Bukit Lawang. It's not just a new year; it's a new chapter of adventures, enriched with meaningful changes that promise an even more unforgettable journey through the heart of Sumatra's jungles.
The Heart of the Matter: Permit Adjustments and Fair Wages:
Behind every trekking experience lies a delicate balance between preserving the pristine beauty of the jungle and ensuring the well-being of those who guide you through it. We're committed to both, and with this commitment comes a necessary adjustment in our pricing for 2024.
The costs of permits to the jungle have increased, a reflection of the ongoing efforts to safeguard the natural habitat of the orangutans and maintain the delicate balance of our ecosystem. These permits are essential not only for the conservation of the jungle but also for providing you with an ethical and sustainable adventure.
Additionally, we believe in investing in the people who make your trekking experiences extraordinary. Our guides and support staff are the backbone of Orangutan Trekking, and it's our responsibility to ensure they receive fair compensation for their expertise and dedication. Better wages mean not only improved livelihoods for our team but also an elevated level of service for you.
A Glimpse Into the Change: The Official Letter from HPI:
Accompanying this post is a snapshot of the official letter from HPI (Himpunan Pramuwisata Indonesia), the tourism guide association. This letter attests to the adjustments in permits and emphasizes the collaborative effort within the industry to elevate the standards of sustainable tourism.
What Does This Mean for You? We understand that any change in pricing is significant, and we want to assure you that this adjustment allows us to maintain the integrity of our trekking experiences. Your journey with us remains a gateway to ethical, sustainable, and unforgettable adventures.
Embracing a Future of Responsible Trekking:
As we embark on this new year, we embrace a future where responsible trekking is at the forefront of our endeavors. The adjustments in pricing not only reflect the evolving landscape of conservation and tourism but also affirm our commitment to delivering experiences that leave a positive impact on both nature and communities.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming you to a year filled with enriching adventures, deeper connections with nature, and the joy of supporting a sustainable future.
Happy Trekking!
