The operator said a new partnership with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) would accelerate travel’s sustainability transformation.

It is sponsoring a GSTC sustainable tourism course for its hotel partners in Spain, Greece and Turkey after committing to supporting them in achieving GSTC standard within the next five years.

Certified hotels will become part of easyJet holidays’ "eco-certified" collection, designed to make it easier for customers to make sustainable choices when booking their holidays.
