We’re also proud that 60% of our organized travel is done through motor coach transportation. Additionally, we are working to decrease the carbon footprint of our student trips by favoring suppliers with green values, opting to use electric buses or public transportation when possible, and organizing itineraries in a way that favors train travel and short distances between sites. In 2013, Prométour set its sights on becoming the leader in student travel for environmental practices. We were among the first travel agencies to offer their clients the opportunity to offset carbon emissions on a voluntary basis.

We have always been firm believers in the B-M-W (Bus-Metro-Walk) motto, not only is it better for the environment, it’s also the best way for students to discover the destination!

At Prométour, we know sustainability is a critical topic for the future of the travel industry and have since made a marked effort to contribute to a greener future. Throughout the years, we have fostered a strong relationship with Taking Root and have committed to partially offsetting our travelers’ carbon emissions. As a result of our efforts, we have planted 20 000 trees in Nicaragua and in turn, have offset over 1800 tons of carbon.

Prométour is in the business of bringing people together through travel, and we feel we have a responsibility to do so sustainably.
