MAKING
A
DIFFERENCE
We understand that travel is a privilege, so we try to create a positive impact in every destination we visit. Travel comes with responsibilities. That’s why we’re determined to travel sustainably and consciously, and that’s why we’re willing to take a stand on issues closest to our hearts. It is our commitment to protect people, wildlife, and the incredible planet we all share.
PLANTING TREES
We'll plant 1 tree on your behalf when you make a booking with us!
​
We've partnered with local Reforestation Projects who hire local villagers to plant trees in Tamil Nadu & parts of Karnataka. The initiative is helping replant forests, restore animal habitats and reduce poverty and we are proud to support them with your help.
REDUCING PLASTIC WASTE
To help reduce single-use plastics and promote reusable alternatives, we plan to provide Co-TravelIn branded bottles on all our trips. We advise all our travellers to bring a reusable water bottle when they travel.
CLEAN UP
DRIVES
Beach cleanups are a regular occurrence on some of our trips. Just like you, we want to protect our ocean waterways and marine life, so you'll often find us and our awesome travelers collecting rubbish as we go.
RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL
Its about choosing to respect and benefit the local people, their cultures and the environment. While it's up to all of us to be conscientious globetrotting individuals, Co-TravelIn makes it easier by building travel fundamentals into each and every one of our trips. When you hit the road with us, you leave lighter footprints, invest your money in local communities, show respect to different cultures and traditions, and experience genuine connections with the people you meet along the way

Leave only footprints...take care of the environment as you would your own home. Take out all your take in, to areas away from the cities. use alternatives to plastic and say 'No' to plastic bags. For cigarette butts, an empty film container makes a perfect portable container.
