More and more travellers want to understand the climate impact of their journeys and take it into account when making travel decisions. With atmosfair’s emissions calculations, tour operators, booking platforms, destinations and other players in the travel industry can provide their customers with transparent information about the climate impact of their journeys. Emissions are calculated automatically via an interface that can be integrated directly into existing booking and information systems.
Product description
The climate impact of a trip arises from various components, including travel to and from the destination, accommodation and other tourism-related services. To communicate this impact transparently, companies need reliable and verifiable emissions calculations. atmosfair provides the travel industry with automated calculations of emissions and other climate impacts associated with tourist trips. The calculations are based on recognised methods and deliver detailed results for individual components of a trip as well as for the trip as a whole.
The data can be used to inform travellers about the climate impact of their trip, highlight more climate-friendly travel alternatives or integrate climate action contributions directly into the booking process. The data is provided automatically via an API and a lookup table for flight emissions. Travel data is transmitted to the atmosfair interface, and the results are returned immediately to the relevant system.
