At Grand European Travel and The Travel Corporation (TTC), we recognize our responsibility to have a positive impact on the planet we call home, the people we visit, and the wildlife we find there. How can you help MAKE TRAVEL MATTER®? By traveling with us, of course! To travel with TTC is to learn and support the people we meet along the way. Learn more about how we help keep the balance with our Chief Sustainability Officer and Head of the TreadRight Foundation, Shannon Guihan.
Our Chief Sustainability Officer and Head of The TreadRight Foundation, Shannon Guihan, was a panelist at Phocuswright Europe earlier this month in Barcelona, Spain. The Panel entitled 'A Win Win for Tourism-Balancing Culture and the Economy,' discussed the dichotomy of tourism in producing both an economic win and an erosion to the quality of local life for a destination. Shannon was joined in the discussion by Travalyst CEO, Sally Davey, and Visit Barcelona CEO, Mateu Hernandez Maluquer.

Grand European Travel reposted this
Dive into this conversation between Matt Leedham of Karryon: Together In Travel, and Shannon Guihan, our Chief Sustainability Officer and Head of TreadRight. "The thing that’s really important to articulate about The Travel Corporation though is our approach has been to take a business function approach. When developing our most recent sustainability strategy, it was very much, “How does this apply in Operations? How does this apply in Sales?” And what that’s enabled us to do is to take those KPIs and break them down into business function tactics. It wouldn’t ever be successful without that." #maketravelmatter #sustainabletravel #climateaction

GET is a proud, proud member of The Travel Corporation family of brands. #maketravelmatter #climateaction #netzero #dothework #skift
We're proud to announce that The Travel Corporation and our Carbon Fund have been named a Skift IDEA Awards 2023 winner. Last year, we became the first global tour operator with all three near-term, long-term, and net zero target validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. To achieve our reductions targets, we launched an industry-first Carbon Fund - an internal fund generated by revenue from TTC brands that will be used solely for decarbonization initiatives and to contribute to our net zero journey. Thank you Skift! The Skift IDEA Awards celebrate excellence in design, creativity, and innovation within the travel industry, acknowledging the pioneering brands and businesses that are shaping its future. #maketravelmatter #climateaction #netzero
