Greenhouse gas emissions from travel continue to grow. When looking at the tourism sector, new research estimates that tourism accounts for about 8 percent of global gas emissions.
We’ve entered a new era of public concern about climate change that is much more likely to grow over time than to retreat. More and more people now are concerned about environment protection and the carbon footprint caused while travelling. It’s not only the flight’s CO2-emissions that contribute to the travel’s emissions. Also hotels, consuming and local travel contribute to the CO2-emissions.
Nowadays, many travellers, when making their reservations, take into consideration the environmental policies adopted by the hotels where they are going to stay. They prefer to stay in establishments that take care of the environment and contribute to reducing their CO2 footprint.
Environmental protection and the fight against climate change are two of the pillars on which the THE GOGREEN TRAVEL PROJECT is based. As part of this initiative the project has created the GoGreen Travel Premium Card.
The GoGreen Travel Premium Card is the first tourist ecological platform bringing together private and corporate travellers concerned about climate change, as well as hotels wanting to achieve their sustainability goals and desiring to be leaders in the vanguard of the effort to retool the global economy into one that is cleaner, greener and more sustainable.
The GoGreen Travel Project will help the environment by planting trees to recover forests in agricultural degraded lands. With this the project achieves two objectives, on the one hand, offset the CO2 footprint emitted by the participating hotels in the long term.
