Sustainability

Here at American Holidays, we believe in the transformative power of travel.
We believe travel builds perspective, understanding, education and can empower communities and individuals alike.

We have set out sustainable standards we strive to live by and work with others who are committed to sustainability and responsible travel practices. We recognize cross-sector collaboration is vital and support global initiatives across the travel, hospitality, and transport sectors to reduce the environmental impact.

We are embedding a range of global minimum sustainability standards that include ethical treatment of animals, green offices, reduction of single-use plastic and waste to landfill, safe and fair labour conditions, and the ethical and sustainable contracting of accommodation.

Taking climate action by supporting healthy oceans

As part of our commitment to climate and nature action, we’ve joined our sister companies across the Travelopia Group* to partner with Blue Marine Foundation. ​

Our objective is to help conserve the stunning coastlines and marine life that enrich your holidays and restore ocean ecosystems that are vital in tackling climate change.​

Together with our sister travel companies, we intend to donate at least £1 million over the next 3 years, with an aim to support the conservation and restoration of 7,000 hectares of vital marine ecosystems through seven global projects.​

From the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, Kenya to Indonesia, these protected “blue carbon ecosystems” have the potential to remove and store thousands of tonnes of carbon every year. They will also help protect a rich diversity of coastal and underwater wildlife, including endangered species. ​

Our support will also enable the training and employment of local communities in marine conservation, helping ensure these beautiful places are preserved for generations.​
