What We are Doing

Insight Vacations is reducing the carbon footprint and environmental impact of our offices by introducing recycling, energy reduction and waste minimization projects as well as supporting local community projects where we live and work. Our staff are proud to be involved in making a difference and starting in 2008 we will be encouraging our staff to spend two working days a year volunteering for charitable projects.

What you can do

Make sure you tread lightly and respect the communities you visit by adhering to Insight Vacations tips for sustainable travel.

The greener way to go

Every time we travel, whether by car, train, plane or coach, we are burning fossil fuels and contributing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And while there are many ways to travel while on holiday, we are pleased to advise that by choosing an Insight Vacations escorted tour, you are opting for one of the most environmentally friendly ways to go. This grid below shows you the amount of carbon dioxide emitted per km for a passenger travelling on various forms of transport which clearly shows coach transport as emitting significantly less carbon dioxide than other forms of transport. With carbon dioxide being one of the main causes of global warming, it's good to know that buying an escorted tour holiday is a better way to travel.

Method of Travel Kilograms of C02 per passenger/km
Car 0.1330
Air 0.1313
Rail 0.0602
Coach 0.0227

With constant improvements in technology newer engines offer greater fuel efficiency while also emitting less pollutants which is why Insight is continually upgrading its motor coach fleet and we are proud to have one of the best in Europe.
