The Travel Foundation

About us

Our Approach

The Travel Foundation is great news for both visitors and the places we love to visit.

We partner with UK travel companies to make tourism a force for good that minimises negative effects upon the environment, and uses income from tourism to protect and preserve both precious natural resources and local traditions and culture.

We encourage the tourism industry to buy goods and services from local producers and suppliers, decreasing transport emissions, boosting local economies and benefiting communities with new opportunities and employment.

Businesses are better able to meet the needs of their customers, at the same time as protecting the resources on which their future depends.

Quality is improved for the holidaymaker and a more enriching experience is delivered, hand in hand with the reassurance that today’s favourite destinations will exist for future generations.

Our work means local and national governments have evidence to develop effective tourism policies and support destination communities and environments.
