Contiki worked with a third-party consultant to measure the carbon footprint of our trips. Here’s what we considered in scope: - Transfers: any transportation provided as part of the trip - Meals: any included meals as part of the trip - Accommodations: all accommodations included within the trip. We took a regional approach to measuring these emissions, to ensure country and regional specific emission factors were used where possible. We will review and update the carbon footprint of our trips every three years using our custom trip emission calculator. Here’s what we considered out of scope and will not be included as part of our trip carbon footprint - Traveller’s air travel to and from the destination - All pre and post services not included in the price of the trip - Emissions produced by facilities or buildings we visit on our trips (ie. museums). These emissions are considered the responsibility of the facility as determined by internationally accepted principles for emissions accounting. - Meals purchased by the traveller
