What  is Conscious Travel?

    Conscious Travel is a business model developed by Anna Pollock. In contrast to the consumer-driven mass tourism model, Pollock envisioned a new form of tourism that would sustain local economy, ecology, and culture. She also saw travel as an experience that creates interactions and fosters relationships between guests and host communities. Pollock also believed that travel could provide valuable learning and self-enrichment when people engaged with different communities and the natural world. In short, travel raises conscious awareness for both the local and global communities. It has the power to change the quality of our lives with the meaningful experiences it provides.

     West Bali Excursions follows the principles of Pollock. All of our activities are organized in partnership with local communities in West Bali. We currently organize our programming with Gumbrih, Mendoyo, Pendem, and Perancak villages.

     Our experiences aim to tell the story of West Bali and help our guests to better understand the local economy, community, arts/culture, and ecology. We believe that the Conscious Travel business model helps to inspire travelers to be knowledgeable and responsible global citizens. We also intend to help villagers protect and preserve their resources and way of life through Conscious Travel.
