Notre engagement vers un tourisme durable et responsable

Our commitment

Towards sustainable and responsible tourism

ATC Route du Monde is committed!

At ATC Routes du Monde, we firmly believe that traveling and discovering the world should be done with respect for our planet and local communities. Our commitment to sustainable development and corporate social responsibility (CSR) is at the heart of our mission. We work every day to minimize our ecological footprint and maximize our positive impact.

Some key figures...

1st

Transportation is the leading source of GHG emissions in France's tourism sector.

Whenever possible, let's take the train, which is still the means of mass transport that emits the least CO²!

100%

The percentage of man-made waste in the sea.

According to UNESCO, 80% of them are made of plastic. Remember to consume and manage your waste carefully!

Our vision

We envision a world where tourism actively contributes to the protection of the environment and the well-being of local populations. ATC Routes du Monde is committed to adopting sustainable practices that support this vision.

ATC Routes du Monde s'engage auprès d'ATR

ATC Routes du Monde makes a commitment to ATR

For ethical and sustainable tourism!

ATR brings together tourism professionals who respect the planet and its people.

At ATC we have our own environmental charter, but we also apply the ATR Traveler's Charter. It is essential for a travel agency with a vocation for sustainable tourism not only to respect the ATR Charter, but also to inform travelers about it, so that they in turn can take responsibility for the consequences of tourism on a country's environment and population.

ATC Routes du Monde partenaire d'un Toit pour les Abeilles

Our commitment to biodiversity

Together, let's protect bees

A partnership for nature and beekeepers

Aware of the importance of bees to our ecosystem, ATC Routes du Monde is making a commitment alongside Un Toit pour les Abeilles by sponsoring two hives in France. Thanks to this partnership, we are supporting the preservation of 80,000 bees, essential to pollination and the balance of biodiversity. This sponsorship also helps support beekeepers, key players in this protection.

ATC Routes du Monde partenaire d'A Tree for You

Every journey counts for the planet

A concrete commitment with A Tree for You

With every booking made with our "group" service, you participate in a reforestation project in collaboration with A Tree for You. Together, we are contributing to the planting of trees in the Zio river valley, Togo, in order to restore degraded ecosystems, improve soil fertility and support local communities. This initiative also absorbs CO2 emissions linked to travel and strengthens the resilience of populations in the face of environmental challenges.

Our responsible practices...

...head office in Paris

At ATC Routes du Monde headquarters, we systematically switch off appliances before leaving, telecommute two days a week and use recycled paper. Our supplies come from eco-responsible suppliers, and we have a partnership with Recygo to recycle coffee capsules and tea bags. We encourage travel by public transport, carpooling or bicycle. At Christmas time, we take part in the boîtes solidaires initiative, to offer a little comfort to the most needy, in partnership with local associations.

... in our travels

We offer eco-responsible travel for groups in France and abroad (Guatemala, Costa Rica, Laos, Vietnam). We reduce our customers' emissions by encouraging local consumption, the use of gourds, and digital travel books. We prioritize rail for accessible destinations and collaborate with committed, eco-friendly receptives. Also check out our traveler's charter!!

... in our vacation resorts

Our holiday establishments are actively committed to adopting eco-responsible practices. Waste sorting, composting, plastic reduction, LED lighting or even short circuits in catering: each establishment implements concrete actions to limit its environmental impact. The well-being of seasonal workers is also a priority, with adapted accommodation, convivial meals and access to leisure facilities.
