Not flying somewhere “just because it’s cheap”, building carbon into travel prices and subsidised holidays for “those who deserve it” were all discussed during an Earth Day panel today (22 April).

Earth Day: 'Will travel revert to being just for the rich?'

The newly formed Travel by B Corp hosted its first event, discussing what it means to travel sustainably and sharing ideas on how people can become more responsible travellers.

A poll of more than 100 viewers found that in answer to the question “What steps are you most likely to take to travel better in the future”, 62% would choose to use an operator that gives back.

Asked which things they’d like to see stop and begin in the industry with regards sustainability, the panel had varied answers.
