Family Carbon Offset Holidays
Intrepid Travel is expanding its Carbon Offset Trip offerings with a new family adventure through Vietnam in 2009.
The Vietnam Family Adventure is one of 37 Carbon Offset Trips offered by the independent tour operator. In these trips, the cost of purchasing carbon offsets to balance the environmental impact of the trip is included. The average cost of the carbon offset component of these trips is less than 50 cents a day.
”Many families will already be making changes to the way they travel in an effort to reduce their impact, such as offsetting flights. Our Carbon Offset Trips give them an opportunity to go one step further and offset other aspects of their trip including transport, accommodation, waste and activities undertaken on the trip,” says Darrell Wade, CEO and co-founder of Intrepid Travel.
”By building the cost of carbon offsetting into the cost of the trip we are removing the confusion of carbon calculators to make being green an easy decision.”
The Vietnam Family Adventure will include a cyclo ride through Hanoi’s Old Quarter; a cruise of Halong Bay; a poem hat in imperial Hue; meeting local kids in Hoi An and relaxing on the beach at Nha Trang. The trips starts at $1,315 per person plus $300 local payment.
