we are aware of the impact travel & tourism has on the environment, so we try to ensure our activities minimise this impact & support responsible tourism.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organisation that promotes the responsible stewardship of the world's forests. At Keycamp we are proud to say we have achieved FSC certification and become part of the chain to ensure we protect our environment. At present we are one of the only holiday companies in the world to achieve this status and ensure that all of our brochures are printed on FSC paper. Find out more here
Our efforts were recognised earlier this year when Keycamp joined the handful of companies that have been awarded the Three Star Award for Responsible Tourism by the Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO). This is the highest level of recognition they offer and acknowledges the improvements we have made to ensure our holidays and business practises are more environmentally friendly. Find out more here
