Carbon Offset Scheme

Everyday activities such as driving and heating our homes all create carbon dioxide (CO2) which causes climate change and flights are no exception.

As a specialist tour operator with an on going commitment to responsible tourism, we felt a carbon offset scheme was the next step for us and initially set up our own carbon offset scheme for The Gambia Experience.

On the success of this we have expanded the scheme to The Senegal Experience, The Cape Verde Experience, Corsican Places and Sardinian Places brands.

Primarily monies collected will fund projects in The Gambia but we are currently researching potential projects in other destinations for future initiatives.

TICOS have set up a Community Tree Planting Project in The Gambia; the trees are grown on the Gambia is Good (GIG) community farm, which is part of a unique and highly successful project to improve local farmer's livelihoods.

In addition to this, we have also pledged to support TICOS' newly signed off, Gambia Mayon Turbo Stove Project.
