Thomson goes green on its website

Thursday, 05 Sep, 2006 0

Thomson has launched a Sustainable Tourism section on its website www.thomson.co.uk.

It says its customers want to be kept informed about environmental issues and how they are impacted by their travel plans.

A short survey on the website will gauge how important environmental factors are to customers and provide Thomson with insight that can be used to design future holidays.

The section will provide information about the environmental performance of aircraft and developments in this area, environmental monitoring of hotels, and projects to support communities and the environment.

It also tells people how they can ensure they travel responsibly

A live web chat is being held tomorrow (Wednesday September 6) from 11:30 until 12:30 to give people the opportunity to ask their own questions.

Kimberley Kay, who manages corporate responsibility for Thomson, said: “People who are busy recycling during their day to day lives, saving energy and restricting their use of water and buying local organic produce to support local farmers are increasingly wanting their travel to be built on the same principles.”
