In honor of Earth Day, travel companies this week announced a number of initiatives to battle climate change and promote more sustainable practices amongst themselves, their guests and their partners.
Among the highlights, a new five-step Climate Action Plan from the Travel Corp., whose brands include Red Carnation Hotels, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, Contiki, Trafalgar, Insight Vacations and Luxury Gold.
The goals include achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 and sourcing 50% of electricity from renewable sources across the organization by 2025.
