Adventure World Travel Partners with
Purkal Stree Shakti

Adventure World Travel is proud to partner with Purkal Stree Shakti, a non-profit organisation based in Uttarakhand, India to bring you our beautiful, hand-crafted and sustainably made travel wallets. For the past 16 years, Purkal Stree Shakti has been empowering women through the dignity of work. This project helps to support the employment of over 170 local women, who are trained as artisans and taught skills that will serve them for years to come; the provision of a nutritious lunch daily to each woman; a daily bus service that allows the women to travel to and from work; responsible production and consumption using sustainable, locally-sourced materials. Supporting local communities and promoting sustainable tourism is at the heart of the Adventure World Travel ethos. We hope you enjoy your journey with us and thank you for your role in supporting this organisation.

Adventure World Travel Partners with
Wildlife SOS

Most travellers have no idea of the abuse that elephants must endure to be "tamed" for riding. They’re poached from the wild as babies, isolated from other elephants, then beaten until they’re so terrified of people they’ll do anything. This cruel practice is called phajaan, or “breaking of the spirit.” Hosted by TreadRight® Ambassador Céline Cousteau, a group of dynamic storytellers went on a journey of education and compassion in incredible India. The central goal of their trip was to learn more about Wildlife SOS’s work to save elephants from negligent and abusive situations and bring more attention to the organization’s influential #RefuseToRide campaign.

The Travel Corporation's
How we Tread Right

How We Tread Right (HWTR) is The Travel Corporation’s (TTC) new five-year sustainability strategy, which sets the mandate on sustainability at Adventure World Travel and our sister travel companies.

These goals, anchored to the United Nations’ Global Goals, address the below principles.

Planet

Sustainability and conservation by targeting climate change, sustainable food production and responsible consumption through carbon management, renewable energy, the food cycle, waste reduction, and the elimination of single-use plastics.

How we tread right

When we explore we must tread right. TreadRight® works towards this mission in two ways: through our foundation, which funds sustainable tourism initiatives of organizations all over the world, and through leading TTC’s strategic efforts to address the environmental and social impacts of TTC’s family of brands.

Our
Climate Action Plan

Goals #1 and #2 of our sustainability strategy, How We Tread Right(HWTR) respectively commit to becoming carbon neutral by 2030 or sooner, and to ensuring that 50% of our electricity is secured from renewable sources by 2025. To ensure we are successful, we’ve built a Climate Action Plan. Our five-point plan will help us manage the carbon footprint of our business and trips, and prioritizes reducing and removing emissions ahead of offsetting. In addition, we commit to learning and adapting as technology and innovation help us in our transition to a low-carbon business.

Our Plan

Our plan builds on progress made to date and evaluates how we become a part of the global effort to reach net-zero emissions by mid-century, as outlined by the International Panel on Climate Change. 

South Pole

Beginning in 2022, all our offices and employee air business travel will be offset as part of our Climate Action Plan. In partnership with our carbon offset provider, South Pole, we will compensate these emissions by investing in a verified forest conservation offset project in Victoria, Australia.
