Joe Whittle, our Sustainability and Impact Lead, said: “We are a business that puts people first, and that includes how we support our business owners, their customers and clients, and the people in the wider communities we work in and travel to. We believe that it’s our duty to make sure this is done in a responsible way, and our partnership with the Travel Foundation firmly puts our focus on showing care for people, and our planet, at the heart of everything we do.”
The partnership, which was launched at our annual conference last month, follows a clear indication that Travel Counsellors and their customers are concerned about the environmental impact of their travel arrangements. In fact, a recent survey that we carried out revealed that 41% of respondents said they are willing to spend more on a sustainable holiday, and 56% agree they want travel companies to offer more sustainable options.
