Avalon Waterways is expanding its "Lighthouse Project" with a new partnership with Trees4Travel, just in time for International Day of Forests (21MAR).
Unveiled in spring 2021, the Lighthouse Project initiative was created by the Globus Family of Brands to help travellers come together to reduce their footprint.
With the new partnership, Avalon aims to offset the carbon footprint of every guest’s cruise experience in 2022 by donating "tens of thousands" of trees to Trees4Travel. According to Trees4Travel, the first 10 years of each tree’s life will supplement travel while the next 140 years of the lifespan of each tree will simply benefit the Earth.
"By planting trees for travel, we’re doing our part to create and maintain forests to remove CO2 from the air while restoring ecosystems," the river cruise company said in a statement.
