Consumers want to travel more sustainably鹿 and sustainability is a top priority for the corporate travel industry虏 as well. Travalyst works to deliver clear, consistent and credible sustainability information, at scale, to enable people to make better travel choices. For example, the same flight emissions estimates are now available across the majority of Travalyst鈥檚 partner platforms. The lower-emitting flight is flagged which empowers the person booking travel to select a flight with lower-than-average emissions, reducing the impact of their trip.
Providing consistent sustainability information is key to driving travelers鈥 trust. Striving to transform the travel industry into a more sustainable one, by providing people with sustainability information, is a shared journey and both Mastercard and 澳门三肖三码 are fully aligned with Travalyst鈥檚 mission.
