Virgin Holidays - all inclusive package holidays and family holiday deals

Our Future

We actively support sustainable tourism and want to do our best to ensure that your children and their children are able to enjoy a holiday as exciting and unspoiled as the ones we offer you today.

Our World

So, as one of the most innovative providers of long-haul holidays we actively support The Travel Foundation, the charity that cares for the places you love to visit.

See: www.thetravelfoundation.org.uk for more details.

• We have also implemented a number of social and environmental initiatives throughout our own organisation. For example, the paper we use for our brochures is sourced from sustainably farmed forests (for every tree cut down, a new one is planted).

Read more about our responsible business policy.

Respect the Mountain

As a member of the Ski Club of Great Britain, we are fully behind its 'Respect the Mountain' campaign. This was launched to safeguard the natural environment and the longterm future of snow sports. It involves initiatives like tree planting, 'green' resort guides and environmental research.

Your Impact

• Be aware of your environmental impact as skiers and boarders. Educate yourself about your environmental impact on the mountains, and what you can do to minimise it.



• Don't leave litter on the slopes. When the snow melts, the litter will still be there. Bin it or take it home. Orange peel takes up to 2 years to break down, and cigarette ends up to 5 years. If you find litter on the slopes, do the right thing - pick it up.

• Respect the natural habitat of mountain animals and plants. If you ski through trees, you can damage them by knocking off branches and killing young shoots under the snow. Take care. Many areas are out of bounds to protect the natural habitat of animals and plants - not just for safety reasons.



• Choose a resort which uses environmentally friendly practices. Many resorts now use bio-diesel fuel in piste-bashers, solar panels for heating, hydro-electricity/wind energy for power and a host of other initiatives.

See www.respectthemountain.com for info on the eco-friendliness of individual ski resorts.

• Do your bit to reduce global warming on holiday and at home. Re-use your towels each day, recycle household waste and switch off electrical appliances when not in use. Consider offsetting the C02 emissions from your flight at www.climatecare.org.
