Greek Travel Agents Invited To Explore E.U. “Travelife” Initiative

Greek travel agents can now get fully informed on how their businesses can benefit from participating in the E.U. initiative “Travelife” through the new website that recently launched in the Greek language.

Travelife is a training, management and certification initiative for tourism companies committed to reach sustainability.

The Travelife methodology for corporate social responsibility (CSR) in tourism provides travel companies with a range of practical learning, assessment and implementation tools that enable staff to implement CSR in their companies.

The main goal of the project is to ensure the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the European tourism industry.
