Hotelplan UK CEO Joe Ponte added: "We are absolutely delighted to be joining this powerful initiative and taking the sustainability credentials of our brands to the next phase. Some of the specialists in our group, such as Explore, are already progressive in this space, having been founding signatories of Tourism Declares A Climate Emergency in early 2020 and actively working on their comprehensive and industry leading Climate Action Plan."
"We will lead in areas of travel yet untouched, and support the pathways outlined in the Glasgow Declaration wholeheartedly".
