Introducing the 20 agents who have joined the 2025 TTG Sustainable Travel Ambassadors programme.

The 2025 Sustainable Travel Ambassadors in training, with the TTG Sustainable Travel Heroes, at TTG's office

This year saw a record-breaking number of agents apply to join the TTG Sustainable Travel Heroes training programme, which is now in its third year. Agents were keen to secure one of the 20 spots, giving them a front-row seat to building a Smarter, Better, Fairer travel industry.

The cohort were chosen by our expert judging panel of TTG team members and experts from our our destination and sector champions.

During 2025, these agents will join in-person and virtual training workshops and attend fascinating fams with our TTG Sustainable Travel Hero partners, the Greek National Tourism Organization, Iberostar Hotels & Resorts, Intrepid Travel and easyJet holidays. Here, we introduce our 20 Ambassadors in Training.
