One of our motto is “Empowering local community”. 99% of our crew including the staff are the local people. Being a trekking crew is very much changed their live. Before Mt. Rinjani become a tourist attraction in Lombok, most of the local work as migrant workes and leave their family for years to work at Malaysia which is doesnt much improve their economic.
Education is the key. At the beginning, the crew maybe not really care about waste because they are not educated to handling sustainable touristm. Slow but sure, now most of the crew is really care about the waste management. As a company, we are never stop to educate this matter beside to give reward and funishment. Bring back the rubbish is mandatory at Leo Trekking Rinjani
