The operator said that with awareness of the “plastics crisis” at an all-time high, it was time the industry joined forces to dramatically reduce reliance on single-use plastics.


“We’re starting in a manageable way, with a focus on reducing the use of single-use plastic water bottles,” said G’s vice-president of responsible travel and social enterprise.


"We already taken steps globally to reduce plastic in our offices and on our water-based tours, and we actively participate in beach clean-ups where we can. We know we can do more however – but we can’t do it alone.”
