KELLY TOURS GOES GREEN! Did you know that motorcoach transportation is the greenest travel option out there? A study done by the American Bus Association Foundation compares different modes of transportation and the result is that you can limit your carbon footprint by traveling on a motorcoach. You can read the full study here! That is a great start, but Kelly Tours wants to do more! Here is how we have been prioritizing the environment.
GOING DIGITAL: Catalogs and flyers will be distributed digitally whenever possible. Newsletters are now being sent out via email. QR codes will take you to pages on our website instead of passing out printed materials. A GREENER TRAVEL EXPERIENCE: You can help too! Our tour directors will select a team of students to help us clean up trash from boxed meal breaks and rest stops, recycling plastic and paper when we can. · GREEN PARTNERSHIPS: Many of the attractions and vendors that we partner with are also promoting a greener lifestyle. Let us know if you would like more information on initiatives by the vendors and attractions included in your tour. · RECYCLE BINS: Added at our offices, every little bit helps!
UPCOMING CONTEST: Students will be asked to submit a report of an innovative idea regarding the travel industry and the environment. Scholarships will be provided to the selected ideas. More details to come fall 2021.
