Sustainability
Building a responsible travel ecosystem for India.
Our Approach
Safar is committed to promoting sustainable travel in India. We believe that technology can help reduce the environmental impact of tourism while empowering local communities.
Initiatives
Aashray Program
Free stays for disaster relief, medical patients, and underprivileged travellers. Hosts donate nights, donors get 80G tax certificates.
Local Experiences
We promote locally-run experiences โ food tours, craft workshops, heritage walks โ keeping tourism revenue in the community.
Farm Stays
Our farm stay category encourages agritourism, supporting rural livelihoods and helping travellers connect with nature.
Eco-Friendly Listings
Hosts can highlight eco-friendly amenities โ solar power, rainwater harvesting, organic toiletries โ helping conscious travellers choose better.
Zero Commission for NGOs
Aashray-tier listings for NGOs and social organisations are completely free โ no subscription, no commission.
Digital-First Operations
Paperless bookings, digital agreements with e-stamp, and online KYC reduce our operational footprint.
Our Goals
- Partner with 100+ eco-certified properties by 2027
- Facilitate 10,000 Aashray nights per year
- Carbon offset programme for long-distance bookings (upcoming)
- Promote homestays and community-based tourism across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities
