Sustainable Business Practices
We work closely with industry partners and travel providers to ensure that sustainable travel and tourism standards are developed with a systematic approach and promoted positively.
We are an active member of the Global Tourism Sustainability Council. This council works to ensure global and industry-wide adoption of sustainability standards in order to provide ongoing clarity and integrity to travelers. This also gives travelers the abiliity to make informed choices about the best sustainable travel options.
Through our World Travel and Tourism Council membership, we participated in developing the WTTC Call to Action Report and are part of the environmental group.
We partner with top volunteer travel providers through the Travelocity Travel For Good™ program, which offers a wide range of opportunities for “restorative” travel — from environmental work to animal rescue and habitat restoration to humanitarian and home-building projects around the world.
Our chairman and CEO, Sam Gilliland, chairs the Economic Sustainability Committee at the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board, which serves as the advisory body to the Secretary of Commerce on matters relating to the travel and tourism industry in the United States.
