Hey Explorer!
Let’s talk about something important to us – our beautiful planet and how we travel through it.
First things first: Expat Explore isn't claiming to be 100% sustainable. We're not there yet, but we're committed to the journey.
Think of us as fellow travellers on the path to better, more responsible tourism. We've taken some meaningful steps, we have plans for more, and we want you along for the ride – both on our tours and on our sustainability journey.
Our modern coach fleet consolidates transportation resources, creating a smaller environmental footprint per traveler. The math is simple but powerful:
Our coaches meet EURO VI standards – the strictest emissions requirements in Europe
One full coach replaces 30+ cars on the road
Coach travel emits 4x less CO₂ per passenger than car travel on routes like London-Glasgow
Our entire fleet is under six years old, ensuring the latest efficiency technology
In Our Offices: We've introduced hybrid work schedules that reduce commuting emissions, installed energy-efficient appliances, eliminated single-use plastics with reusable kitchenware and water dispensers, and implemented structured recycling programmes at all locations.
On Our Tours: We carefully select destinations to balance bucket-list spots with meaningful cultural experiences. Our guides share insights about local customs and regulations to minimize negative impacts. We partner with local guides, restaurants, and experiences to keep tourism income within the communities we visit.
While we haven't yet achieved full sustainability in our accommodations, we're actively evaluating our practices and encouraging our partners to offer more environmentally responsible stays.
Travel is a team effort! Here's how you can help make our tours more sustainable:
We won't make empty promises. What we will do is keep taking real steps toward more sustainable travel, be transparent about our progress, and listen to your feedback to help us prioritize changes that matter.
The journey to sustainability is long, but every step counts. Let's take those steps together.
