Our award winning travel advisors are highly trained and always on hand to offer practical support and advice about the holidays and destinations we offer. In 2008, 21 of our team of advisers won a number of prestigious industry awards.
What's more our extensive retail branch network means that you're never far from one of our travel advisers.
Ethical travel provider
In July 2008, The Co-operative Travel launched its new Ethical Strategy to underpin its core social and ethical goals. We were the first major UK high street travel agent to offer customers the opportunity to offset their carbon emissions in our retail branches and virtually all our outlets are powered by renewable electricity. As part of this strategy we also announced our intention not to support the development of a third runway at Heathrow and in principle, all other new runways in the UK.
Additional elements of our ethical strategy include:
Free carbon offset for customers who book a holiday through us and are members of The Co-operative Group membership scheme
The option for all customers who book a holiday with us to make a small payment to help fund carbon offset projects in the developing world
The option for every customer to make a 1 voluntary donation to the Travel Foundation, a charity that supports sustainable tourism projects in holiday destinations worldwide
The provision of funding for two research projects with the charity, Forum for the Future, to support research into greener tourism
The provision of funding for solar panels at a school in each of our 18 trading areas in the coming year as part of the Green Energy for Schools campaign, operated by our parent organisation, The Co-operative Group
Membership
As a Co-operative, we feel it's important to give something back to our members so that they know their hard earned cash is being used honestly with a share of the profits going to themselves and to their wider community. In 2008, we paid out 38 million of our profits back to our members.
Anyone can become a member as long as they believe in what we stand for and shop with at least one of our businesses. If you join our membership scheme you'll receive a whole host of benefits including members' share of profits as well as a range of exclusive members offers, discounts and benefits across our family of businesses. You'll earn points on everything you purchase and these points will turn into cash twice a year.
Just ask your travel advisor for details on how to join.
