Second season with Highland Explorer Tours, with this year stretching the adventures to our 6x day tours to the outer Hebrides! Some sights and reviews so far - aim of the game is that people enjoy their well earned holidays so I’m excited to continue in making sure they do! Radical Travel Group

Parading up the Royal Mile with the HAGGiS Adventures crew - such a blast and perfect weather for #EdinburghPrideMarch2024! 🏳️🌈✨ Our team celebrates Pride all year long; every month, we keep the spirit alive with exciting projects and gatherings dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion: 💝 Our dedicated Radical Pride Circle, made up of our own LGBTQIA+ staff members and allies, meets monthly to discuss inclusive policies, build LGBTQIA+ networks, and support our staff. 👩🏼🤝🧑🏽 As part of The Travel Corporation, we have established a company-wide ’Diversity, Inclusion & Equal Opportunities’ policy to ensure our workplace remains a fair and safe space for everyone. 🤝 We teamed up with Edinburgh-based charity LGBT Youth Scotland and raised £1825 at our Christmas Raffle 2023, directly impacting young people in Scotland. 🌈 Our staff are encouraged to include their pronouns in their email signatures and we are chuffed to see many of our team embracing this. Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming Diversity, Equity & Inclusion projects here: https://lnkd.in/eSsDvq-p #EdinburghPride2024 #PrideMonth #LGBTQIA #DiversityEquityInclusion

This afternoon, we’re adding a splash of creativity to our workspace with a “Paint and Sip” session in our Edinburgh conference room 🎨 We’re celebrating the launch of HiBob, our new HR platform, with a fun and creative event organised by our amazing People & Culture Team from The Travel Corporation. Special thanks to Joanne Jordan for arranging! Looking forward to exploring HiBob’s new features. #HR #Edinburgh

For Earth Day, we hosted a film screening of 'David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet', accompanied by healthy snacks 🌍 After the film, we had a discussion about practical steps we can take in our day-to-day to live more sustainably. Some of the suggestions included: ◼ Shop mindfully - consider what's in your food and its origin ◼ Share plant-based or vegetarian recipes with the team ◼ Avoid products containing palm oil, or opt for sustainably sourced palm oil Thanks to everyone who was able to come along! #EarthDay #EarthMonth #TTCSustainabilityChallenge24

Litter pick with the team around our Edinburgh office 🙌 Another 30 points for Radical Travel Group on our #EarthMonth challenge! #TTCSustainabilityChallenge24 The TreadRight Foundation

Reflecting on our team lunches, we've often pondered the best ways to recycle food containers and packaging. So, Tara Scott took charge and organised a presentation on proper recycling practices for our office ♻️ For example, did you know that you can recycle soft plastics (e.g peelable film lids made from polypropylene) at larger supermarkets in #Edinburgh? This presentation not only was helpful but also aligns beautifully with our #EarthMonth bingo challenge! Thanks to Team Edinburgh for stepping up to the #TTCSustainabilityChallenge24. 🌍

Great start to the first day of VisitScotland Connect with Graeme Ward ✌️ Over 7000 meetings booked between everyone attending these 2 days, showing immense interest in Scotland as a destination! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #VisitScotlandConnect #VSConnect #Aberdeen #Scotland Radical Travel Group

For today’s #EarthMonth challenge, the lovely Tara Scott took us for an outing to the Edinburgh Science Festival at National Museums Scotland to learn about the use of biomaterials in engineering, packaging, fashion, and more. Did you know that seaweed can be used to make takeaway food containers? Or that tiles produced from food waste and aquafaba (the water you find in canned chickpeas) have a much lower carbon footprint than ceramic tiles? What about cling film made from potato peelings and cooking oil? Big thumbs up for the “Growing Home: A New World of Materials” exhibition, and thanks to the team at Radical Travel Group for coming along! #TTCSustainabilityChallenge24 #EdinburghScienceFestival

As part of our #EarthMonth office challenge, we have organised a ‘clean out your cupboard’ day to donate food to the Edinburgh Food Project 🥫🍽️ We are currently competing against numerous other teams from offices across the The Travel Corporation, where each team completes daily challenges related to sustainability to collect points. By the end of April, the team with the largest number of points wins $600 to donate to a charity of their choice. Let’s see who gets there first! 💪 Thanks to Tara Scott for organising and motivating everyone to keep on top of our daily challenges! #TTCSustainabilityChallenge24
