| 1st Culion Voluntourism Trip by Kawil Tours |
The trip was conceived as part of Kawil Tours' advocacy for responsible travel and environmental conservation. During amihan season, which normally sets off towards the last quarter of the year, garbage patches float westwards in the group of islands and ends up on the eastern part of Culion. If left unattended, these garbs could lead to serious environmental problems.
After the clean-up trip, the collected garbage will be turned over to the Local Government Unit of Culion for proper disposal.
As of June 20, 2013, reservations for the trip have been closed. Only a limited number of slots were made available due to safety and logistical concerns. However, arrangements for groups of interested travelers are still accepted.
Details of the 2nd Culion Voluntourism Trip will be announced on September 2013.
