Sustainability is ‘All in’ at Travel Counsellors Conference
This month Travel Counsellors will host its first global conference since the pandemic.
The Travel Counsellors Global Annual Conference takes place from Friday 11 until Sunday 13 November at the ACC Liverpool, with over 1,600 delegates in attendance including Travel Counsellors, partners, support team colleagues and over 300 suppliers.
It will also be the first time in three years that the community comes together in person at the annual conference, after its regional events in November last year.
This year it promotes the theme ‘all in’.
The company has also committed to making this the first sustainable conference, asking all attendees to be ‘all in to make a positive difference’ by committing to a three-part pledge.
This is based on avoiding single use plastics; making the event carbon neutral; and having zero waste to landfill at the event.
The company will not provide any single use plastics, using Vegware and eGreen for smart packaging and tableware.
All waste produced will be directed away from landfill – either reused, recycled, composted or sent to energy recovery, and its carbon footprint will be measured with Travel Counsellors pledging to offset its output to global sustainable projects.
Jim Eastwood, Global Sales Director, at Travel Counsellors, said: “We have a record number of attendees this year including 850 Travel Counsellors who all reflect our ‘all in’ ethos.”
“Now that travel is back, it’s our duty to make sure that we operate in a responsible way – and that includes at our annual global conference..”
During the weekend over 1,600 delegates will enjoy evening events and daytime conference sessions, hearing updates from the company’s support team, as well as a Travel Market event to showcase product and updates from suppliers.
