Travelife has been set up to support an efficient and cost effective introduction of sustainability principles within the Tour Operator sector. It aims to increase:
• The quality of travel products
• Customer satisfaction
• The quality of life in your destinations
Travelife believes that co-operation between the tour operators themselves, between tour operators and their suppliers, and between tour operators and the people at the destinations is essential to work towards sustainability within the tourism sector.
Travelife brings together the individual and collective experiences of tour operators and their associations and builds upon the experiences of other initiatives within the tourism sector. We believe that the introduction of a common approach will support a rapid introduction and dissemination of the knowledge and desirable practices within the sector. This helps to avoid the emergence of competing standards and systems which would create confusion within the sector and among consumers.
Travelife works through national trade associations to create a critical mass, to stimulate a standardised approach and to establish a “level playing field”. Travelife is supported by a growing number of trade associations that have committed their members to implement the Travelife management systems and tools. Travelife is presently introduced among more than 450 tour operator members of European tour operator associations such as:
• The Netherlands: ANVR• United Kingdom: FTO
• Germany: FAR
• Belgium: ABTO, BTOV, VVR, BFNO, FBAA
with the support of Toerisme Vlaanderen.
