Quality and Environmental Protection

Lahntours is a service-orientated operator that uses a great system to secure high quality standards. We do not take quality for granted:

• Every team member is approachable and happily answers any questions or wishes the customer might has
• We collect and award regularly great improvement suggestions from our staff

Lahntours-Aktivreisen GmbH is a „Qualitätsmanagement Wassertourismus“ certified operator through the German Tourism Association. We operate under the guidelines of this quality label in the canoe tourism segment. The label is financially supported by the Federal Ministry of Economy and Technology and contributes with its quality criteria to a more professional and quality-orientated canoe tourism in all of Germany. Part of this is of course the preservation and protection of the water and river landscapes involved.

Travel for Tomorrow - Lahntours-Aktivreisen GmbH is TourCert certified! This commitment commits us to continuous improvement in the areas of environmental protection, working conditions, customer information, human rights, and fair business relationships. We have established our sustainability performance in accordance with the TourCert certification standards, which have been reviewed by independent auditors and approved by a commission of experts. We maintain ongoing dialogue with our service providers and consider ecological and social criteria when developing and compiling our offers. We also ensure that our employees and those of our partners are paid fairly and that we minimize our resource consumption and the ecological impact of our travel activities as much as possible. So that everyone benefits!

Lahntours-Aktivreisen GmbH participates as a partner company in the "Sustainable Destination Certification" program. The partner company of the Sustainable Destination recognizes sustainability as an important management responsibility. It ensures that the three dimensions of ecological, economic, and socio-cultural sustainability are continuously strengthened in its operational business. This contributes to the awarding of the "Sustainable Destination" certificate to the tourism destination.

Lahntours is an active member of the Federal Canoe Association. This association is promoting a close to nature canoe tourism and represents the interests of canoe tourists. It is their goal to harmonise the canoe tourism and the nature preservation so that future generations can enjoy a healthy environment as well.

Lahntours is an active member of the German Maritime Industry Association (Verband Maritime Wirtschaft Deutschland e. V.). The association is the result of a merger of the Federal Association of the Water Sports Industry (BVWW) and the German Boat and Shipbuilders Association (DBSV). The new association represents, among other things, the political interests of all companies active in the maritime industry, such as boat and yacht shipyards, charter companies, boat builders and dealers, importers, marinas, the diving industry association, and companies active in canoeing. Furthermore, the new association is the conceptual sponsor of the world's largest yacht and watersports show, "boot," which takes place annually in January in Düsseldorf.

Lahntours cooperates with the regional tourism association: Lahntal Tourismus Verband e.V. The Lahntal once being a hidden treasure only a few people knew about becomes more and more a successful tourism region with a well developed infrastructure and a great range of offered activities. 

Lahntours is an apprenticing company of the chamber of commerce. We think of the future and see it as our duty to train young people for the following professions: management assistant for tourism and leisure, management assistant for tourism, travel agent and office manager.

Official project of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development.
At the round table of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development the German national comity awarded a project, which we are involved with, to be an official project of the UN decade. The declared goal of the the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development is to establish an economical, ecological and socially sustainable development in all areas of the education system for the world population. International lead agency of the decade is the UNESCO. In Germany the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development is under the patronage of the federal president of the Federal Republic of Germany. Responsible for its coordination is a national comity under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Gerhard de Haan, educationalist at the Freie Universität Berlin which was formed by the German UNESCO commission. To learn sustainability should become a matter of course for everybody in the education system. The awarded projects are an example for innovative and broadly effective implementations of the decade. Their award intents to spread the goals of the decade widely across Germany. This supported by the German Federal Environmental Foundation (Deutschen Bundesstiftung Umwelt), Friends of the Earth Germany (Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschlands) and the Federal Canoe Association (Bundesvereinigung Kanutouristik e.V) initiative, to which Lahntours-Aktivreisen contributes as well, has the goal to develop nature experiences and environmental education programs especially for children and youth groups from educational weaker backgrounds.
