Travel Without Plastics

Officially created in 2017, Travel Without Plastic is a social entreprise working on digital guides and other tools specifically designed to support hoteliers, accommodation providers and other hospitality businesses to reduce or eliminate single-use plastic.

Travel Wihtout Plastic also designs and delivers workshops and webinars for hotels and the ongoing creation of interactive e-learning programmes to bring all of the above to life for wider stakeholders of the hospitality industry.

Since 2018, Travel without Plastic has created and updated its Let's Reduce Single-Use Toolkit for Hotels and Accommodation Providers. The latest revision due for publication in August includes additional reference to managing hygiene and plastic reduction.
