My Sustainable Travel Pledge

As a travel agent, I aim to provide my clients with the support to make sustainable choices when travelling and also commit to follow this pledge when take both business and personal travel.

Treating the Destination with Respect:

I pledge to treat the destination as a guest, not a tourist, by respecting the local culture, traditions, and environment.

Reducing Single-Use Plastic:

I will limit my single-use plastic by using reusable water bottles and shopping bags to minimize plastic waste and its impact on the environment.

Participating in Cultural Activities:

I commit to taking part in cultural activities to learn about and share traditions, respecting and celebrating the local culture and heritage.

Considering Carbon Emissions:

I will consider my carbon emissions by looking for alternative transport options, such as trains instead of planes, and embracing slow travel by taking fewer flights throughout the year.

Supporting Local Businesses:

I will support local businesses by choosing independent restaurants and gift shops that use local produce, thereby contributing to the local economy and community.

Responsible Wildlife Tourism:

I pledge never to visit wildlife attractions that are unethical and do not align with my animal welfare policy, ensuring the ethical treatment of animals in tourism.

These commitments align with the principles of responsible and sustainable travel, aiming to minimize the negative impact of travel and maximize the positive contributions to the destinations visited.
