3 N o te. THE #NOREGRETS PHILOSOPHY This is your youth. You only get to live it once, but if you do it right once is more than enough. Live life on your own terms - create the stories now that you ll recount for decades to come. Make new friends from new places. Travel a lot. It s the only thing you ll buy that ll make you richer. Celebrate individuality, diversity, connections & a little bit of craziness. Find comfort outside your comfort zone. See the world through youthful eyes, a little bit of naivety & a truckload of optimism. Live for the moment. Have #NOREGRETS, just memories. And above all... Make every moment count.

15 RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL: BE THE CHANGE WE NEVER CEASE TO BE AMAZED BY THE CONSCIENTIOUS & RESPONSIBLE ATTITUDE OF SO MANY OF OUR TRAVELERS. VISIT TREADRIGHT.ORG TO CHECK OUT OUR EXCITING NEW PARTNERSHIPS WITH WILDAID & ALLIANCE FOR ARTISAN ENTERPRISE 5 WAYS TO TREAD LIGHTLY WHEN TRAVELING. Bring a reusable water bottle & reduce the use of plastics. There s no better education than travel. Exploring the world opens your eyes to different cultures, different communities & a new way of living, and traveling responsibly goes hand in hand with this. Small steps make big waves, we can help protect the places that have given us countless #NOREGRETS moments, for years to come. BE THE CHANGE Responsible travel is about respect for the destinations we visit, its communities, culture, and environment. If we travel responsibly, we have the opportunity to leave a positive impact. Although there are countless ways to travel sustainably, here are a few ways we help to benefit the communities we visit, and the environment: We actively support locally owned operators & suppliers to provide support for our trips Our coaches utilize the most efficient engines available to them in that region We contribute to the protection & preservation of local historical, archaeological & other significant sites We incorporate elements of local art & cultural heritage in the experiences we offer The use of disposable & consumable goods is reduced in any way possible We support & contribute to biodiversity conservation, including natural protected areas & areas of high biodiversity COACH TRANSPORT: A GREENER WAY TO TRAVEL Think catching a train or taking public transport is the most environmentally friendly choice? Surprisingly, you re wrong. In fact, coach travel consistently comes out top as the greenest travel option, and we can prove it. Research has shown that one full coach has five times less carbon dioxide emissions, per passenger per kilometre, than a plane on the same route. Or, in car terms, for every full coach there are 6 fewer cars on the road. CONTIKI + EURO 6 COACHES = A HAPPIER PLANET Since we started exploring the world over 53 years ago, coach travel has remained our primary form of exploring Europe. Gone are beat up old minivans, and in its place a fleet of super sleek, sexy & impossibly efficient Euro 6 coaches. Euro 6 convert all the dangerous fumes into a mixture of water & nitrogen, completely harmless products for the environment. Euro 6 engines are the most advanced of their kind & currently make up 37% of Contiki s fleet of Europe coaches, with plans to double & triple this figure within the next few years. THE RECYCLING REVOLUTION Imagine the number of travelers who go on a Contiki trip each year. Then imagine the number of plastic water bottles each traveler brings with them. A LOT (we re talking tons & tons of plastic). Knowing that it takes plastic bottle 700 years to decompose in landfill, we knew that something needed to be done. Now, each Europe bound Contiki coach never leaves on a new departure without carrying bio-bags to collect travelers empty water bottles.. Explore cities by foot, bike or public transport on your ME Time to reduce your carbon footprint. 3. Switch off when you re not in your hotel room to conserve energy. 4. Buy local you ll support the communities you visit & help reduce shipping from other countries. 5. Conserve water in hotels by turning off the taps when not in use water is a scarce resource in many of the countries we visit.
