The Scottish Passenger Agents’ Association (SPAA) has created a document on environmental considerations for its membership to help them move towards their carbon reduction goals.

'A travel agent can do what no computer or app can do and can anticipate their clients’ requirements,' said SPAA president Mike Tibbert

The document, which has been sent to all members and is available to them on the SPAA website, outlines how individual travel agents can contribute to the organisation’s vision for achieving greater sustainability for the travel industry.

Agents are asked to consider how they can be more sustainable in their own operations and also how they can encourage their clients to make more eco-friendly travel choices.

The document gives members a better understanding of the many sustainable options across the travel eco-system and encourages them to participate in as many as possible.
