Meet the 2024 TTG Sustainable Travel Ambassadors in training
TTG is proud to introduce the 20 agents who have joined the 2024 TTG Sustainable Travel Ambassadors programme.
Now in its second year, the TTG Sustainable Travel Ambassadors initiative received incredible interest from agents across the UK, who were all keen to secure one of 20 coveted spots to learn more about sustainable travel.
Judges from TTG and our expert Sustainable Travel Heroes partners then hand-picked a cohort of agents to become this year’s Sustainable Travel Ambassadors in Training. Throughout 2024, they’ll join educational workshops, experience responsible tourism in action on fam trips and actively take steps to build a Smarter, Better, Fairer travel industry. Here, we meet the new recruits.
