Tucan Travel Carbon Offset Scheme
Working in Partnership with World Land Trust

Tucan Travel Carbon Offset Scheme

World Land Trust - international conservation charity established in 1989. Click here to learn more about this fantastic not-for-profit organisation, carbon offset your flights or make a donation to save the world's rainforests

Working in partnership with international conservation charity World Land Trust in our continuing quest to establish and maintain our position as a leader in responsible travel, Tucan Travel is offering a new way for our travellers to make a real contribution to the health of the planet - the Carbon Offset Scheme.

World Land Trust is a not-for-profit, international conservation organisation that takes direct
action to save rainforest and other biologically important lands. Since it was founded in 1989,
it has helped local conservation organisations to purchase and protect over 375,000 acres
of threatened habitats in Asia, Europe and Central and South America. There are many
organisations offering carbon offsetting services, however we believe that World Land Trust has
the most scientifically sound approach and socially responsible philosophy.


What is the Carbon Offset Scheme?

When you book your tour with Tucan Travel you will be able to offset a portion of your share of
the carbon emissions created while you are on your tour. You will see in the pricing areas of the brochure that there is an optional contribution to be made with your final payment.

 •  If your tour is up to 27 days long, you would donate £10, or your equivalent currency.
 •  If your tour is 28 days or longer you would donate £20, or your equivalent currency.
 •  100% of any contributions made will be passed on to World Land Trust. You also have the ability to opt-out of this scheme if you choose.

Please see the price boxes on the tour pages for the offset amounts in your local currency.

If you book your tour in the months of November and December 2008, Tucan Travel will  match your contribution ‘dollar for dollar’. On top of that, from 01 Jan 2009, Tucan Travel will calculate what clients have donated, and donate an additional 10% of the total to World Land Trust. So the more you contribute, the more we can give! We will also absorb all processing fees associated with these payments, so there’s no administration cost to World Land Trust and they can spend the money donated where it counts - protecting threatened habitats worldwide.

What Will Happen to the Contributions?
World Land Trust will fund projects on your behalf through their Carbon Balanced programme, which reduces the amount of damage carbon emissions are doing to the environment. Tucan Travel will not profit from your carbon offsetting donations. Your contributions will be made directly to World Land Trust and Tucan Travel will not receive any direct financial benefit or commission from these donations.
