Britain’s leading leisure travel company, Thomson, have launched a new section on their website to promote sustainable tourism.
The company say the move has been prompted by feedback from customers keen to have more information about the ecological and environmental effect of their holidays and flights. Subjects covered include the environmental performance of Thomson’s aircraft, environmental monitoring of hotels, information about projects to support communities and the environment both in the many holiday destinations and in the UK, and what people can do themselves to ensure that they play their part in travelling responsibly.
Kimberley Kay, who manages corporate responsibility for Thomson, said people are increasingly wanting their travel to be built on sound environmental principles. She added: “Thomson has established conservation projects and community initiatives, many of which have been underway for many years, however what we are now seeing is a desire from our customers to know more about these activities and to feel that their holiday is supporting the destination they are travelling to.”
