Sustainability charter

We travel to meet people, to visit places, to broaden our views and enlarge knowledge of all kind. We want our travelling to be as sustainable as possible.

For macro decisions we join greater forces like our governments and associations. For your service here, we act on a micro basis, and we hope you appreciate. Please tell us what you think of it, all suggestions are most welcome.
