The tour operators Rewe Reisen and Dertour, in cooperation with Lufthansa, are launching a total of 14 package tours that include the compensation of carbon dioxide emissions. So-called sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is to be purchased. Alternatively, donations should flow to climate protection projects.
The holiday offers can be booked at Rewe Reisen, among others. The monthly flyer for March, which is available in supermarkets throughout Germany, initially offers two eight-day trips within the project, a tour of southern England and a tour of Sicily. With both offers, the CO2 emissions of the outward and return flights are offset. In addition, nature and local added value are the focus of the trip. More offers of this kind will follow in May and July.
At the end of March, the third edition of the Dertour magalog "Bewusst Reisen" will be published with sustainably certified hotels and experiences of responsible tourism. Twelve of these offers – including in Mallorca, Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece – can be combined with CO2-neutral Lufthansa flights.
“We are very pleased that, together with DER Touristik, we can now also offer our customers a comprehensive range of sustainable holidays. Our common goal is to make tourist trips more and more climate-friendly and to get even more people excited about this type of travel. We want to offer our guests the best possible travel experience. This also includes innovative sustainable products. Lufthansa will be offering its customers around 50 percent more sustainable offers over the next three years,” says Harry Hohmeister, Member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG.
