MAKE TRAVEL MATTER®

Supporting people, wildlife and the beautiful planet we all share

We know all about the power of travel. But it can benefit more than just travellers. Contiki’s mission is to MAKE TRAVEL MATTER®.

It’s the foundation of everything we do. But don’t just take our word for it. Scroll to learn more about what we mean (and how to join us on our journey).

Our Europe coaches run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO)

We’ve reduced emissions per coach by 57.7% since making the switch from diesel in Jan ‘24! And with 10 new fuel points now added to our itineraries, the trend looks set to continue.

Pride in our community

Our annual Pride trip is an event where LGBTQIA+ travellers and awesome allies come together and celebrate in style. Check out the highlights of 2024’s trip, through the eyes of content creator Emma Horn.

Keen to support people, wildlife and the planet while making memories to last a lifetime?

MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences are available on most of our trips, chosen because of the positive social or environmental impact they have on their communities and those who experience them. This month we are shining a spotlight on Sicily.

We’re investing in our planet

We’ve partnered with GoodFuels to help transition our coaches over to biofuel, which reduces our on-trip emissions by 20% in Europe where HVO is available. We’re also installing solar panels in two of our major offices, helping us to generate our own clean energy. These are just the latest milestones on our journey towards Net Zero.

We love our furry (and not so furry) friends

That’s why we’ve partnered with World Animal Protection to develop our Animal Welfare Policy.

Treat ‘em green. Keep ‘em keen.
