FIELDS TRIPS has signed the Sustainable Tourism 2030 Pledge, to demonstrate our commitment to improving our sustainability score between now and 2030. This is more than a Pledge it is a global movement of like-minded organizations within the tourism industry that believe tourism has a tremendous opportunity to become a force for good and change the world. We recognize that travel comes at a cost to our loyal travelers as well as our featured destinations. Being sustainable sets the path for generations to come. We all need to “DO MORE GOOD” to make a positive impact in our travels.
DO MORE GOOD Initiatives:
- Bring your re-fillable beverage container as we’ll have jugs of water onboard to replenish for your convenience (we are reducing single use plastics)
- We now requestNo Housekeeping Service in hotels where we stay more then 1 night. You can support this sustainable practice by using your “Do Not Disturb” sign. Hotels want to deliver the best customer service to their guests and make you feel like royalty. But do you really need your room vacuumed every day? Or your towels washed after every use? Reduce the amount of energy and resources that are used for housekeeping activities by hanging up the “Do Not Disturb Sign” outside your door. Just think of the water, cleaning products and electricity you can save. That being said, if you still wish to receive housekeeping services, you can ask the front desk to arrange this.

Along the way we’ll share our focus on how we can all be more responsible by making a positive impact in our travels. Each year, we commit to measuring and improving our sustainability performance in the following ways:
- Partner with hotels, attractions and restaurants who are cognizant of sustainable practices
- Continue to utilize the most efficient motorcoaches (as they use the least amount of energy and produce the lowest carbon dioxide emissions per passenger km of any of the transportation modes in North America)
- Measure our carbon footprint and work to offset in a responsible manner
