According to the tour operator, clearly stating the environmental impact of travel at the wider sector level will ensure consistency and ease comparison for customers. 

 

First launched in March 2022, carbon labelling has led Explore Worldwide to rethink some of its tours, making changes where needed. These include replacing a bus journey with an overnight train in Laos as well as removing internal flights in the Azores and Pakistan.
