Increasing local experiences on our trips not only provides authentic experiences for our guests, but also ensures local communities and people are gaining positive impacts from the travel industry. Local food experiences support sustainable food production and a community’s food growers. Local cultural experiences ensure traditions of a place are maintained for generations to come. Supporting local businesses ensures we foster diversity, equity and inclusion within a place.

As well, there are many developing regions that stand to benefit greatly from the visitor economy, and our goal to increase itineraries visiting developing regions focuses on ensuring the benefits of tourism are spread beyond tourist hubs. This ensures travel’s positive impact but also helps us provide unique and unforgettable experiences for our guests.

We are committed to supporting and growing travel experiences that demonstrate genuine community benefit, and put diversity and inclusion at the forefront.

Our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences are immersive impact experiences designed to benefit a destination, educate our travelers, and advance the United Nations Global Goals. They’re chosen with great care and assessed against a robust set of qualifying criteria. As part of our 5-year sustainability strategy, our goal is to include at least one MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience across 50% of our itineraries by 2025.

Increasing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within our business and through our trips is also a priority for us. We work towards this through our formal DEI strategy, the projects we support through TreadRight, and the trips we provide our guests including Pride and Women-Only trips.

Our sustainability strategy and Climate Action Plan ensure that we are addressing our impact and carbon footprint as an organization, and our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences allow our guests to tangibly see the difference that their travel with us makes.

To inspire responsible travel habits, we’ve also created a simple Travel Checklist, and our Impact Hub (impact.ttc.com) has further information on how travelers can get involved, as well as what we’re doing.

Culture is one of the human elements that define a place and enrich a travel experience, and its preservation is paramount. Through our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences, we ensure the communities we visit and the experiences we provide our guests genuinely work towards cultural preservation, by advancing UN Global Goals 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.

In addition, our TreadRight Foundation continues to provide long-standing support to initiatives around the world which uphold cultures and traditions, while helping these organizations see the true benefit of the visitor economy. Examples include the Cristina Heeren Foundation of Flamenco Art, preserving the art of flamenco in Spain; the Centre de Textiles Tradicionales Del Cusco, preserving the ancient weaving tradition in Peru; and the Laboratorio Giuditta Brozzetti, one of the few remaining traditional frame hand weaving workshops in Italy.

Reducing the environmental impact of our business isn’t just a “nice-to-have” for us, it’s at the core of all that we do. Our 5-year sustainability strategy How We Tread Right is comprised of 11 measurable goals designed to address the impact of our business and trips, the first of which is to reach net zero GHG emissions by 2050. Decarbonization is our first priority.

In 2022, we launched our industry-first Carbon Fund, that will support the decarbonization of our business, and became the first global tour operator to have all three near-term, long-term and net zero targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. This is all backed by our Climate Action Plan,

In addition, our TreadRight Foundation, which supports sustainable tourism projects worldwide, has transitioned to prioritize nature-based solutions which work for and with nature to address climate change.
