Choosing your destination

When choosing your next holiday destination, there are a few things to consider when it comes to sustainability beyond the obvious air miles. Cities and countries around the world have taken on the issue in their own unique ways, with measures such as designating conservation areas, investing in low-carbon energy, and improving public transport.

Depending on the type of holiday you’re looking for, your Travel Counsellor can recommend destinations that are well-suited to your trip and that also take the issue of sustainability seriously.

“Our Travel Counsellor was incredible and we were so glad that we used them to book our recent driving tour of Scotland. They were super helpful - they gave us lots of good ideas having really listened to what we were looking for from our family holiday. The accommodation was perfect and the activities were spot on.”
