Contiki went carbon neutral on January 1 2022, and is on track for Net Zero emissions by 2050.  At the heart of their sustainability strategy is an 11-goal plan, which aligns with the UN’s global goals for sustainable development and focuses on wildlife, people and the planet.

These experiences are available on 80% of Contiki trips across the globe. They’re chosen by measuring the positive social or environmental impact they have on local communities, wildlife or the planet overall. Basically, when you join a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience on your trip, you know you’re giving something back.
