Founder Sean Taggart said Toureasy’s ambition is to offer guilt-free and affordable holidays that people will be proud to take.
Taggart said:
“The team has worked incredibly hard through an unusual year to create a mix of popular and more unique holidays that make coach touring holidays an option for young and older folk, families and groups of all types. There is no such thing as a typical coach holiday customer at Toureasy – just people who love travelling and sharing their experiences with others.
“Similarly, everyone ought to be able to holiday sustainably. That is why we will always offer holidays that are affordable and where everyone that travels with us also automatically makes a positive contribution to protecting our planet. That’s why every holidaymaker will receive a certificate after each trip confirming the carbon offset made on their behalf.
“Our holidays make sustainable holidays accessible for all.”
Celebrating the first bookings, Toureasy is breaking new ground by offsetting 100% of the operation’s carbon emissions and estimates that it will have offset over 1,000 tonnes of carbon by the end of 2021. Its first 100 tonnes of carbon emissions were offset prior to the company launching, showing its commitment to support global projects.
