Selling points regarding safety

The company employs guides with extensive experience in outdoor activities (trekking, caving, gorge climbing, etc.). To ensure that the guides can always keep an eye on the participants, there is a limit to the number of participants that each guide is responsible for on each tour. Furthermore, the guides regularly survey the field and tour locations to identify potential dangers. They also attend safety management courses such as first aid courses, and carry first aid kits during tours and are familiar with how to use them so that they can respond immediately. In addition, there is always a staff member on-site who can respond to emergencies, and the company is also insured.
