Climate change, global warming and other major environmental issues have been solidifying their place at the top of news pages in recent years. The need for individuals, governments and businesses to be sustainable is more urgent than ever. As a result, travel companies are taking it upon themselves to implement environmentally friendly policies and initiatives. From eliminating single-use plastics to preventing poaching, and from supporting marine conservation to funding clean water, there are an increasing number of issues that travel companies help tackle. Vicki Wolf, education


manager at travel association ABTA, says: “Travel companies are increasingly taking a more holistic approach to sustainability that goes beyond important environmental issues including the treatment of local staff and ensuring that travel makes a positive contribution to the wider local community.” For people who want to make


a difference to local communities abroad, there are several tour operators and holiday firms with which they can travel. Building schools and installing


water pumps in disadvantaged communities might be the first projects that spring to mind, but initiatives including monitoring endangered wildlife are also on offer for travellers.


Whatever your role in the travel industry, you’re involved in making customers’


dreams come true. It’s fast-paced and exciting; no day is ever the same.
