Evaneos

Evaneos connects travellers with responsible local travel experts in a direct-to-consumer model that improves conditions for travellers and for the environment.

They initiated a more detailed pledge for tour operators (called Agencies Against Plastic). Partner agencies in more than 85 countries have already signed the Agencies Against Plastic pledge and committed to specific actions.

Commitments:

In the framework of the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative, Evaneos commits to:
  • Encouraging its affiliated organisations and businesses or partners, including more than 500 SME tour operators worldwide to join the GTPI through their website. They also award higher status to partners with proof of sustainability commitments.
  • Advising and guiding affiliated organisations and businesses or partners to better manage plastics in their operations through a B2B plastic reduction guide for SME tour operators that they are producing. This will be shared with all their partners agencies in 2022. They will also be collecting traveller feedback about which of our partners excel in terms of organising trips that successfully protect local environments and will reward these agencies with better business volume and better placement on their website.
  • Communicating successes to affiliated organisations and businesses, partners, travellers, and key local stakeholders through the plastics reduction guide for SME tour operators and their annual Better Trips Impact report.

 
We know climate change is today’s single biggest threat. We also know traveling has the power to create a better future. So the question we’re focused on at Evaneos is how we can keep traveling, but travel better. 
As an online marketplace we connect travelers with the world’s most responsible local experts in a direct-to-consumer model that empowers travelers and travel-makers to design better outcomes for themselves and the planet. We’re committed to accelerating climate action within our own business and hope the Glasgow Declaration is the clarion call our industry needs to join forces.
