Thomson and First Choice have launched a range of exclusive excursions, bookable online and in store.
The ‘Collection’ is a set of excursions designed to help customers get a true taste of the destination they’re visiting.
According to parent TUI, each one has also gone through a checklist to guarantee that they include sustainability principles and have no commercial stops.
All excursions must have at least three of the six features that have been put in place to set them apart from excursions offered by other tour operators.
Where possible they will also include wi-fi on the excursion, point out local gems that only a tour guide with detailed local knowledge will find and be all-inclusive.
At present, excursions are available in Majorca, Cyprus, Corfu, Crete, Tenerife, Dominican Republic (Puerto Plata and Punta Cana) and Turkey (Dalaman).
"We’re very conscious about the impact of our holidays on the environment and local community and are always looking at ways of reducing this, and including our excursions in this is the next step for us," said Jane Ashton, group director of sustainable development.
