Jane Sun, CEO of Trip.com Group, said: "Making travel a positive force for the world it connects is a shared responsibility, and the travel industry has a vital role to play in preserving the places, nature and communities that make travel meaningful for generations to come. At Trip.com Group, we believe every journey can make a difference, and we are working to make sustainability part of the travel experience— from lower-carbon transport and certified sustainable stays to helpful information, personalised recommendations and tools such as My Travel Impact." As the industry moves to act, the report shows what motivates travellers to choose more sustainable options, what holds them back and what would make those choices easier. **Motivating**** Action: Making Sustainable Travel More Accessible** Environmental responsibility (52.5%) and preserving destinations for future generations( 50.8%) emerged as the leading motivations for making more sustainable travel choices. Nearly half of respondents (44.4%) also cited more authentic travel experiences. However, higher prices remain the most cited barrier (37.1%), followed by inconvenience or additional effort (29.8%) and difficulty identifying more sustainable options( 27.1%). Price (64.1%) and quality and comfort (61.8%) also remain the leading considerations when choosing travel. **My Travel Impact Puts A Traveller’s More Sustainable Choices In One Place** Findings also show a keen demand for tools that help travellers make more informed sustainable travel choices. Clear sustainable labels (41.6%) top the list of what travellers want most from online travel agencies, and 32.7% would like a dashboard showing the carbon impact of their bookings.
