Travel With Impact
Our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences are all about conscious travel. We handpick these experiences because they make a positive impact on Scotland's communities and the people who enjoy them.
How are MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences chosen?
Using our Make Travel Matter E-Assessment, travel experiences will be rated against a set of robust criteria, selected from the Global Indicator Framework for the Global Goals, in order to identify the ways in which they advance the 11 Global Goals that our sustainability strategy prioritises.
