Introduction
MyTravel UK, as a leading leisure travel group, is proud that our business, as part of the global tourist industry, can be an economic driver to the destinations we visit, providing commercial benefit and financial impetus as well as a positive cultural exchange. We recognise the importance of tourism for economies and communities, whilst also being aware of the potential impact on the environments, communities and cultures of the places in which we operate. As a result, we try to ensure that business operations are conducted in a responsible way, maximising financial benefit and yet minimising any impact.

Looking after the Environment
We realise that protecting the environment is very important for the long-term success of our operations and that we must protect the resources our business depends upon. As such, we will strive to improve our environmental performance and to minimise any negative impact resulting from our operations.

Looking after People 
We believe 'quality of life' is a basic right of our customers, our employees and the communities in the destinations we visit and that people are the ultimate drivers of our business and of our need to develop responsible tourism. We will promote fair working conditions throughout our business and, where possible, will work together with local communities to ensure they benefit as much as possible from the visits of our customers.

Looking after Heritage
We respect the natural and cultural heritage of all countries and understand that this is an important part of the tourist industry. We will encourage our customers to respect the tradition and integrity of local cultures and aim to promote the purchase of local produce, where practical.

Looking after our Products
We want our products to be of the highest quality and will therefore encourage good practice within all our operations and comply with all relevant legislation surrounding the business. We will strive towards integrating responsible practices into business decision making and we will not tolerate any illegal or exploitative forms of tourism.

Raising Awareness
We recognise that raising awareness and understanding of responsible tourism amongst our employees, customers and suppliers is key in order to gain their commitment. We will endeavour to highlight the benefits of addressing these issues and will encourage all stakeholders to care for our environment and to minimise negative impacts.

Working Together
We are committed to working with customers, employees, suppliers, local communities, industry, government and NGOs in order to deliver responsible tourism. In particular, we actively support and engage in the work of the Federation of Tour Operators and the Travel Foundation. 


Together with the support and guidance of multi stakeholder groups, we aim to build a tourism industry which brings pleasure to those who travel with it, a future to the places and the people who provide it as well as a profit to all those who are involved in supplying it.
