The industry is being called upon to sign up to a climate change pledge ahead of COP26 in November.

For Tui Hotels and Resorts, the company is working to reduce hotel emissions as far as possible to zero as early as 2030

The Glasgow Declaration is aimed at accelerating climate action in travel and tourism, committing signatories to cut tourism emissions at least by half over the next decade and to reach zero emissions “as soon as possible before 2050”.

The Declaration is named after the venue for the UN climate summit, which takes place in the Scottish city from 1 November.

The Declaration is backed by the Travel Foundation, the UN Environment Programme, the UN World Tourism Organisation, Tourism Declares a Climate Emergency and Visit Scotland, the first tourist board in the world to declare a climate emergency.
