Responsible Tourism

Responsible Tourism

Travelmarvel, as a part of the APT Travel Group, has long been committed to responsible tourism. We have continually focused on achieving best practice in economic, social and environmental responsibility. The mission of ATG's not-for-profit charitable fund, OneTomorrow, is to make a positive and enduring impact on nature and the communities we touch. This is achieved through immediate and long-term influence in various environmental and humanitarian causes. We also embrace the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To make a more powerful impact, we have chosen to focus on three goals: Good Health and Wellbeing, Quality Education and Life on the Land.

Sustainability

The world is waking up to the need for more sustainable ways of travelling, and here at the APT Travel Group (ATG), we understand we have a responsibility to our planet. Responsible travel is all about being socially and culturally aware, minimising our environmental footprint and travelling in a way that takes into consideration the locals, environment and individual cultures.

Reducing Plastic Waste On Tour

Each minute of every day, the equivalent of a truckload of plastic enters our world’s waterways. At ATG, it is part of our vision to change this. From July 2019, all single-use plastic bottles have been removed on Travelmarvel Mekong and Irrawaddy river cruises. Brand-new Travelmarvel ships on Europe’s waterways are now fitted with environmental water stations. And on journeys aboard Noble Caledonia ships, refillable water bottles are provided to all guests. We are continuing to work with our supplier partners in these areas to work towards eliminating single-use plastic bottles in other areas on tour.

Plant a Tree Scheme

We’ve reduced the amount of paper used company-wide, choosing to go digital wherever possible. We envision a future where guests on tour with ATG will be able to opt to receive their travel documents electronically. When you choose to go paper-free, OneTomorrow will plant a tree in bushfire-affected communities. This way, we can help support a more sustainable future.
