MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences

MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences are travel experiences that can be found across our Travel Corporation itineraries. They are developed and chosen for the mutual benefit they hold for the communities we explore as well as the traveller. These experiences are selected with great care, based on a robust and transparent set of qualifying criteria which ensures that they directly advance the United Nations Global Goals. Our goal as part of TTC’s 5-year sustainability strategy How We Tread Right is to include at least 1 MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience on 50% of all TTC itineraries by 2025, and, in the first year of our strategy’s implementation, we introduced 554 experiences, representing 51% of all TTC itineraries.  Explore our brands’ MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences by visiting their websites below.
