MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® EXPERIENCES
MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences Seal
MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences are conscious travel experiences available on Lion World Travel safaris. Our experiences are chosen with great care based on the positive social or environmental impact they have on their communities and those who experience them. Travelers can identify MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences on Lion World Travel safaris by locating the MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences seal.
WHAT CAN OUR GUESTS EXPECT?
A MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience is an included or optional experience that has a positive impact on the people and communities we visit. MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences have a clear social or environmental mission at the core of their operations. By providing these experiences to our guests, we are contributing to 11 of the 17 United Nations Global Goals, identified through our sustainability strategy.
HOW ARE MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® EXPERIENCES CHOSEN?
Using our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® E-Assessment, travel experiences will be rated against a set of rigorous criteria, selected from the Global Indicator Framework for the Global Goals, to identify the ways they advance the 11 UN Global Goals that TTC’s new 5-year sustainability strategy, How We Tread Right (HWTR) prioritizes. These criteria also account for the educational component that is vital in helping travelers become aware of their global citizenship. Through HWTR, TreadRight Foundation is committed to integrating at least one MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience across 50% of all TTC itineraries by 2025.
