The Tourism Industry Carbon Offset Service (TICOS) is as an industry-wide programme to stimulate collective action by all travel and tourism businesses selling holidays, holiday services and air travel.
TICOS uses offset funds to develop projects that make both carbon savings and have wider sustainable development benefits. The offset income is generated by voluntary contributions from customers of its service users. These are travel and tourism companies committed to offsetting and improving both the quality of the environment and the quality of life for local communities at tourism destinations.
Full details of how the programme works are set out in our Operational Procedure. Visit our projects pages to look at the projects that we fund and visit our service users pages to discover more about the businesses that TICOS works with. TICOS also offers its own custom built climate change service to tourism destinations interested in developing climate change policies.
