The Creative Travel family of brands has once again created history by becoming India’s first Destination Management Company to be a signatory of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism.
The Glasgow Declaration is a catalyst for increased urgency about the need to accelerate climate action in tourism and to secure strong actions and commitment to support the global goals to halve emissions over the next decade and reach Net Zero emissions as soon as possible
before 2050.
“Being responsible is a big part of who we are and everything we do. This goes beyond sustainability. It means we strive to be good employers, fair to our partners, conscious of the footprints our actions leave behind, environmentally conscious in our on-ground delivery, conscious of our environment,” says Rohit Kohli, Joint Managing Director, Creative Travel.
“As an industry front-runner since 1977, we will always create action driven examples, sharing knowledge, and catalysing collaborative action throughout the sector. With Accountability as one of our six core values, we take this responsibility very seriously,” he added.
“The signatories are committing to act now and accelerate climate action to cut global tourism emissions by at least a half over the next decade and reach Net Zero emissions as soon as possible before 2050. In particular, each signatory will commit to deliver a concrete climate action plan, or updated plan, within 12 months of signing. Plans will be aligned with the proposed pathways of measurement, decarbonisation, regeneration, collaboration and financing that will accelerate tourism’s ability to transform,” informed Kohli.
