People living in and around the South West will be amongst the first in the UK to travel with a ground-breaking new sustainable tour operator this autumn. Toureasy is the UK’s first and only carbon neutral coach tour operator with 15 pick-up points across the region. Those looking for a short break, weekend escape or holiday by coach can travel throughout the UK from a convenient point close to home here in the South West. Tours start from as little as £79pp.
The first tours depart in November all with a festive-theme, perfect for families, friends or a sneaky solo sojourn. As well as a trip to one of the regional Christmas Markets, those who want to ‘shop til they drop’ and make a weekend of it, can jump aboard a direct coach trip to fairs further afield, including London. The ‘star on the top of the tree’ trip is a 2-day break to Blenheim Palace with its spectacular light display colouring the palace and gardens.
One of Toureasy’s first customers Linda Roberts said:
“I take several short breaks with my best friend, every year. Coach holidays are a great option. We can make all our arrangements in one booking.”
The getaways are designed so everyone who books a break can do their bit for the planet without paying a premium or needing to sign up to long-term commitments. When asked whether she booked with Toureasy because of their sustainable travel credentials, Linda said:
“It wasn’t the driving factor, but it made it a good decision. The company seems to have considered my responsibility for the planet and that feels good.”
Climate crisis conscious holiday-makers can choose from a collection of Christmas Market trips without a care in the world about designated drivers, parking and the boot not being big enough for all the shopping bags! Holidaymakers will receive a certificate after each trip confirming the carbon offset made on their behalf and reinforcing the positive impact they have made in combatting the global climate crisis. Toureasy’s ambition is to offer guilt-free and affordable holidays that people will be proud to take.
The founder of Toureasy, Sean Taggart said:
“We realised that far too often sustainable travel options are linked to luxury holidays, with a price tag to match. Our ambition is to offer affordable holidays where everyone that travels with us automatically makes a positive contribution to protecting our planet. Our holidays make that possible and we are proud to be operating some of our first tours from the South West.”
