New Carbon Offset Scheme with World Land Trust

Like you, we’re very concerned about the impact that travel has on the environment. This year Tucan Travel has created a
Carbon Offset Scheme in partnership with international conservation charity World Land Trust. For a small donation you can offset some of the carbon emissions created by your tour and Tucan Travel will donate 100% of all funds collected directly to WLT. See the news section below for more information.
