Our sustainability approach
As a locally rooted travel agency, Tahiti Travel Service considers the preservation of our environment an absolute priority. To reduce our ecological footprint and contribute to the preservation of our magnificent natural setting, we have implemented a series of measures within our organization:
- Energy savings.
- Reduction of printing.
- Sensible travel management (minimizing the impact of our local and international travel).
- Installation of a water fountain and use of water bottles to limit the use of plastic.
- Priority given to digital technologies.
- Waste recycling.
Aware of the impact a traveler can have on the local environment, we propose an eco-responsible charter in advance of the trip to encourage good practices.
