What are we doing?

There’s no denying tourism places enormous pressure on communities around the world and overcrowding, damage to the environment and loss of cultural heritage are some of these impacts. Sure, there are big challenges, but by fostering the concept of responsible and sustainable tourism and acting now to prevent climate change, we believe we can all definitely make a difference.

We are working with our hotel and local operating partners to reduce our carbon footprint and reduce resource consumption and waste. We’re also ensuring that our Contiki offices adopt new initiatives which help protect the environment and support the communities in which we operate through things like recycling, staff volunteer programs and more. Contiki offices globally use 100% recycled paper.
