About Trafalgar

Our approach to travel wellbeing protocol, gives you the peace of mind to enjoy your trip, knowing you are in good hands.
Trafalgar collaborated with the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) to align and create global protocols and procedures which have been awarded the WTTC Safe stamp. This coupled with existing national and regional government authority regulations and the World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines, have produced our enhanced, on-trip standards to assure the health and happiness of our guests. Here’s an overview of our wellbeing protocols and procedures:

TRAVEL VACCINATION POLICY
All guest booked to travel with Trafalgar are required to be fully vaccinated to travel, which may include a booster shot to keep it current and valid. Children under 16 must provide a verifiable and negative Covid-19 test result taken 72 hours prior to the start of the tour (taking time zones into consideration) until further notice.

ALWAYS ON SUPPORT
Dedicated Wellbeing Director
A dedicated Wellbeing Director will be added on our trips of 21 or more guests (excluding Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand trips). They will support the Travel Director and Driver Team by remaining up to date with the latest health authority and local government guidelines, ensuring adherence to the wellbeing protocols and always be available to support and guide our guests.

Global Around-the-clock Support Team
In addition to your dedicated on-the-road team, our operations and guest support teams remain behind the scenes, in contact and on-call 24/7.

DISTANCING & HYGIENE PROTOCOLS
Supplier Quality Assurance
Your Wellbeing Director will be responsible for the quality assurance of all hotels, venues and suppliers during each journey. Quality checks will ensure that all travel partners meet local regulations and the established TTC, WTTC and WHO wellbeing protocols.

Hygiene Equipment
Hand sanitiser is accessible and freely available. We ask that you bring your own medical face mask and gloves, but in the case of emergency, personal protective equipment will be distributed to you.

Sanitised Surfaces
All frequently touched surfaces inside your coach, including handrails, doors, tables, overhead lockers, plus your luggage handles, will be disinfected multiple times each day.

Air Filters
Air within the coach is completely filtered and changed on average, every 2 to 3 minutes, which is faster than most hospital operating theatre. Our air filtration system is designed to create an efficient vertical and safe airflow that helps ensure impurities, like Covid aerosols, are not spread.

On-coach Distancing
Trips will operate with a number of empty seats to allow for extra physical distancing. Have peace of mind that all the experiences, hotels, and restaurants you'll enjoy on your trip, have been vetted to ensure they adhere to social distancing and hygiene guidelines.


24/7 INCIDENT REPORT
Always Up To Date
Our team is always up to date, and continue to adjust to the changing regulations from health authorities and local governments. They make changes behind the scenes so you are able to enjoy your trip.

Reducing the environmental impact of our business isn’t just a “nice-to-have” for us, it’s at the core of all that we do. Our 5-year sustainability strategy How We Tread Right is comprised of 11 measurable goals designed to address the impact of our business and trips, the first of which is to reach net zero GHG emissions by 2050. Decarbonization is our first priority.

In 2022, we launched our industry-first Carbon Fund, that will support the decarbonization of our business, and became the first global tour operator to have all three near-term, long-term and net zero targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. This is all backed by our Climate Action Plan,

In addition, our TreadRight Foundation, which supports sustainable tourism projects worldwide, has transitioned to prioritize nature-based solutions which work for and with nature to address climate change.

Responsible travel is a joint responsibility between the industry and travelers. Our goal is to do the heavy lifting for our guests, so that they can rest assured that their impact will be a positive one when traveling with us, without sacrificing their experience. Our sustainability strategy and Climate Action Plan ensure that we are addressing our impact and carbon footprint as an organization, and our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences allow our guests to tangibly see the difference that their travel with us makes.

To inspire responsible travel habits, we’ve also created a simple Travel Checklist, and our Impact Hub (impact.ttc.com) has further information on how travelers can get involved, as well as what we’re doing.

Increasing local experiences on our trips not only provides authentic experiences for our guests, but also ensures local communities and people are gaining positive impacts from the travel industry. Local food experiences support sustainable food production and a community’s food growers. Local cultural experiences ensure traditions of a place are maintained for generations to come. Supporting local businesses ensures we foster diversity, equity and inclusion within a place.

As well, there are many developing regions that stand to benefit greatly from the visitor economy, and our goal to increase itineraries visiting developing regions focuses on ensuring the benefits of tourism are spread beyond tourist hubs. This ensures travel’s positive impact but also helps us provide unique and unforgettable experiences for our guests.

Launched in 2020, How We Tread Right (HWTR) is our five-year sustainability strategy and blueprint for us and our sister brands under our parent company The Travel Corporation (TTC).

Culture is one of the human elements that define a place and enrich a travel experience, and its preservation is paramount. Through our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences, we ensure the communities we visit and the experiences we provide our guests genuinely work towards cultural preservation, by advancing UN Global Goals 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.

In addition, our TreadRight Foundation continues to provide long-standing support to initiatives around the world which uphold cultures and traditions, while helping these organizations see the true benefit of the visitor economy. Examples include the Cristina Heeren Foundation of Flamenco Art, preserving the art of flamenco in Spain; the Centre de Textiles Tradicionales Del Cusco, preserving the ancient weaving tradition in Peru; and the Laboratorio Giuditta Brozzetti, one of the few remaining traditional frame hand weaving workshops in Italy.

We are committed to supporting and growing travel experiences that demonstrate genuine community benefit, and put diversity and inclusion at the forefront.

Our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences are immersive impact experiences designed to benefit a destination, educate our travelers, and advance the United Nations Global Goals. They’re chosen with great care and assessed against a robust set of qualifying criteria. As part of our 5-year sustainability strategy, our goal is to include at least one MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience across 50% of our itineraries by 2025.

Increasing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within our business and through our trips is also a priority for us. We work towards this through our formal DEI strategy, the projects we support through TreadRight, and the trips we provide our guests including Pride and Women-Only trips.
