How we positively impact the planet

Responsible tourism

Enjoying nature while protecting the environment

Getting out in nature gives you experiences that you can’t get anywhere else. So it’s essential that we operate in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. All our tours are designed to protect the natural landscapes we visit.

We work hard to guarantee that Fun Over 50 Holidays operates sustainably, and we’re proud of the steps we’ve taken. We continually revisit our responsible tourism policies to ensure that we are always leading the market with sustainable practices across 4 main pillars.

Looking into nature

People

The culture of the people we visit, our guests and team.

Planet

The natural environment and wildlife of the places we visit.

Progress

Striving for constant innovation and evolution.

Profit

Creating employment and economic benefit for the places we visit.

How to get involved

Fun Over 50 Holidays developed their Our People & Planet Program which has evolved to provide vital support to the many communities and projects where we operate. These include trusts contributing to multiple wildlife, nature, and heritage conservation projects, financial commitment to the Great Barrier Reef Restoration Foundation, and contributions to the Tasmanian Devils@Cradle Sanctuary.

Fun Over 50 Holidays employs local community tour guides and interpreters, ensuring an authentic, and immersive experience for their guests, and employment and cultural heritage preservation in local communities around areas of operation. We also engage with drought relief programs, Indigenous support programs, and other local cultural heritage programs.

You can get involved with any of the programs below.

Curtailing Our Carbon Use

At Fun Over 50 Holidays, we are always looking for more ways to help our natural environment. Our mission is to help people enjoy their wonder for years to come.

Here’s how we do it:

2

Carbon is released into the atmosphere

3

We calculate how much carbon is created per transport method

4

We invest in sustainability projects to capture and remove carbon

5

Carbon is removed from the atmosphere
