Travelife was developed as part of an EU-funded program in support of an effective and cost-effective introduction of sustainability principles in the tourism industry.
Founded in 2007, Travelife Sustainability System is an initiative dedicated to promoting sustainable practices within the travel and tourism industry. The initiative is based on the central role of tour operators and travel agencies in the tourism supply chain. Their unique position between suppliers and buyers allows them to influence consumer demand, procurement policies and destination development. This allows them to contribute significantly to sustainable development and environmental and cultural protection within destinations. Travelife aims to provide companies with knowledge, solutions and tools to make positive changes in their structures and logistics.
