How We Tread Right
How We Tread Right (HWTR) is The Travel Corporation’s (TTC) new five-year sustainability strategy, which sets the mandate on sustainability at Highland Explorer Tours and our sister travel companies. Our strategy is based on 11 measurable goals developed to address Highland Explorer Tours’ impact on Planet, People, and Wildlife. These goals, anchored to the United Nations’ Global Goals and address both the environmental impact and community impact of our business and operations.
We are committed to transparency. To learn more about the progress we are making against these goals, view our 2022 Impact Report here.
