A focus on responsible tour design

The tenets of EF Ultimate Break’s responsible tour design principles include three core areas of focus: 1) carbon mitigation, 2) animal welfare and 3) supporting local communities.

In markets across Italy, tour development teams also considered the Commune of Venice and their #EnjoyRespectVenice guidelines to educate travelers on ways to be more responsible travelers. Additionally, tour design principles included:

Limiting Tour Group Sizes: With the advent of group size limitations within the city proper, EF Ultimate Break has worked diligently to create smaller, more intimate guided sightseeing experiences in the city.Carbon Mitigation: Facilitating more responsible travel across the Venetian lagoon and city, select itineraries will include public transportation on ACTV boats, trams, and buses. Our new program will include the Venice Unica card to ensure travelers have access to as much of Venice’s culture heritage as possible – all accessible via public transportation.Overtourism: Ensuring tour groups in Venice move beyond the most trafficked paths to experience other iconic and historic neighborhoods in the city like the Jewish Ghetto and less frequented stops like the serene and contemplative Church of the Greeks in Castello.Supporting Local Economies: Local businesses also figure largely in our new tours across Italy to ensure the economic impact of travel is equitably felt around the country. Some of our partners in Venice for instance include: Rosa Salva, a legendary, family-run Venetian bakery that’s been serving up the good stuff since 1870. Passed down through six generations, the Rosa Salva family continues to craft traditional Venetian treats with the same passion and quality that made them famous.Cultural Preservation: Partnering with organizations in Italy focused on preserving local traditions and quality of life, including groups like Row Venice, a non-profit organization supporting expert vogatrici, Venetian women rowers, particularly those skilled in the traditional “voga alla veneta” style of rowing, which involves standing and facing forward while rowing (a practice made iconic by the gondoliers).

A September 2024 survey, conducted by EF Ultimate Break and Qualtrics Research, of Gen Z and younger Millennial travelers, ages 18-35, residing in the United States and Canada, found that 72% of young adults said sustainability factors into their travel purchase decisions. The majority of young adult travelers (56%) said they would book the more sustainable travel choice even if it cost more than options that are less friendly to the environment or local communities. 75% of young adults said it was important to them that a travel company has an animal welfare policy, and 73% said it was important that a travel company supports local business.

Nocpix: Always One Step Ahead in Outdoor Electro-optic Innovation with AI-Driven Thermals and Night Vision

Published

on

By

YANTAI, China, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hunting, one of humanity’s oldest traditions, is being transformed by modern technology. Today, innovations like thermal imaging devices, GPS trackers, smart scopes, and AI-driven vision systems are redefining how hunters track, observe, and engage with their environment. Among these innovations, thermal imaging stands out as a true game-changer. The ability to detect heat signatures, spot targets beyond the naked eye’s capabilities, and make calculated shots has revolutionized the hunting experience. In the crowded thermal market, a new brand called Nocpix is coming to US and European hunters making another option for night hunting.

Why is Nocpix Taking the Thermal Optics Market by Storm?

Amidst a competitive field of legacy brands, Nocpix has emerged as a standout name in high-definition thermal imaging. Though a relatively new entrant, they’ve quickly claimed a position at the forefront of the industry by focusing on cutting-edge thermal imaging sensor technology, intuitive ergonomics, and field-proven reliability. Their Ultra-HD thermal imaging systems are now competing head-to-head with established players in the space, combining cutting-edge sensor technology, Reality+ AI-enhanced imaging algorithms, and intuitive designs to deliver industry-leading thermal optics for hunters and outdoor professionals.

Professional Thermal Binoculars for Hunters – QUEST

Nocpix’s product line began with compact monoculars and thermal riflescopes. Today, Nocpix has launched a groundbreaking thermal imaging device — the Quest thermal imaging binoculars. Weighing just 700g, lightweight design allows effortless one-handed operation. The auto screen-off eyepiece prevents accidental light leakage, ensuring stealth during tracking. With a detection range of up to 2600m, a 1000m integrated LRF, and ballistic calculation, QUEST provides precise distance measurement and target data for accurate outdoor observation. Because of these outstanding performance, these binoculars quickly captured the attention of outdoor hunting enthusiasts.

Why Does Binocular Vision Feel More Comfortable?

The human brain is designed for binocular vision — using both eyes to create depth, clarity, and a more immersive viewing experience. Nocpix Quest inherits the intuitive operational logic of traditional binoculars and redefines the night observation experience. As stated by professional hunter Chris Parkin: “This is currently the most user-friendly and feature-rich thermal imaging device — whether day or night, it allows you to become a ‘participant’ in the environment, rather than a mere observer.”
