sustainability
enriching life for people, places and planet
At Travelopia we are driven by travel’s potential for good; our diverse portfolio of travel businesses are unified in their common purpose “To enrich lives through inspiring travel experiences”, for not only our guests but also for the people and places we visit.
We recognise the urgent nature of the climate crisis and that aspects of tourism are currently too carbon-intensive. We seek to work alongside our suppliers and partners in de-carbonising the sector in line with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) global goals.
Our Climate, Nature & Community sustainability plan drives us to measure and reduce the carbon impact of our offices and operations, reduce waste, support the restoration of nature and bring further benefit to our destination communities.
We are also proud to partner with Blue Marine Foundation to support the conservation and restoration of ocean habitats globally. Read more about this here.
Beyond our group-wide activity, each of our brands pursues its own specific sustainability goals; read more about the aims and activity of three of our brands below.
