Sustainable Travel Heroes

TTG Sustainable Travel Heroes is an initiative designed to excite you about the increasing consumer demand for sustainable travel and encourage you that taking small steps can make a difference.

To do this, we’ve partnered with travel suppliers that champion sustainability in their sector – meet our Heroes below.

Each year, the programme seeks 20 travel agents to become TTG Sustainable Travel Ambassadors by attending a series of educational workshops, experiencing responsible tourism in action on fam trips and actively taking steps to build a Smarter, Better, Fairer travel industry.

Applications are now open for this year's Sustainable Travel Heroes programme (apply before midnight on 5 April 2026).

AIMEE MORGAN, Murray Travel

"Sustainability in travel is becoming increasingly important, and it’s encouraging to see more travellers placing it at the forefront of their decisions. I wanted to feel confident not only joining these conversations but also leading them – and the TTG Sustainability Course has helped set me on that path."

MARIE GARDNER Not Just Travel

"Through the programme, I’ve learned that sustainable travel isn’t just about flying less or making sacrifices to the enjoyment of your holiday – it can actually enhance the holiday experience. It’s about finding that balance between your well-earned break whilst getting out to learn and support local businesses and communities, consciously protecting the environment and showing respect for the local culture and wildlife."
