CHARITABLE TRAVEL JOINS THE GSTC
We’re delighted to announce that Charitable Travel is now a member of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), as part of our commitment to sustainable and ethical travel practices.
The GSTC establishes and helps manage global sustainable standards in the travel industry, helping to increase awareness and demand for responsible travel. Charitable Travel is already recognised as a unique social enterprise travel company, which supports philanthropy in general and specifically a wide range of charities chosen by our customer stakeholders when they book holidays and travel through our agency. The choice of transport method, lodging and sightseeing – to ensure that the holidays are as sustainable as possible – is always at the forefront of our product selection and discussions with customers. We accept that not every customer will be tuned to sustainability however we are committed to advance this agenda, but also accept that simply by booking with Charitable Travel our customers are making a substantial donation to a good cause as part of our #travelforgood methodology.
CHARITABLE TRAVEL AND GSTC
Every penny of profit earned by Charitable Travel, everything we do and everything we offer our customers, supports charity fundraising and good causes.
As a registered social enterprise we allow our customers to donate 5% of their holiday cost to the charity of their choice, at no extra cost to them, allowing them to support incredible charities around the world. Furthemore, we endeavor to work with sustainable tour operators to source itineraries which give back to local communities, safeguard the environment, and ensure the long term viabililty of destinations around the world.
We look forward to continuing our work in this area moving forward as GSTC members.
