Amadeus Travel Impact Suite and CarbonClick - Online travel agent sustainability platform

Introduction to sustainable travel innovations

The global tourism sector faces mounting pressure to address ecological consequences. Every journey creates ripples across ecosystems, from aircraft emissions to hotel energy use. Comprehensive measurement tools now reveal these hidden costs, enabling smarter decisions.

Understanding the sustainability gap

Traditional booking systems rarely showed environmental data. Travelers often lacked clear ways to compare carbon footprints between options. This disconnect hindered meaningful progress toward more ecologically supportive habits.

Tech-driven transformation

Modern platforms bridge this gap through automated calculations. They analyze flights, accommodations, and ground transport in real time. Third-party verification ensures data accuracy, building trust in displayed metrics.
Collaboration across airlines, hotels, and tech firms standardizes measurement approaches. Unified metrics help travelers evaluate entire trip impacts rather than isolated segments. This shift supports informed choices at scale.

Amadeus Travel Impact Suite and CarbonClick: a revolutionary sustainability initiative

A groundbreaking collaboration is reshaping how travel emissions are managed globally. Launched in June 2022, this initiative combines emissions tracking with verified carbon offset projects. Built on three pillars, inform, mitigate, and compensate, which also addresses environmental impacts at every stage.

The Inform pillar uses the Travalyst-endorsed Travel Impact Model to calculate emissions. Real-time data helps agencies and travelers understand flight impacts during bookings. Mitigate suggests alternative routes or transport modes to reduce footprints before purchase. For unavoidable emissions, the Compensate feature connects users to certified projects. These include reforestation efforts and renewable energy installations. Integration with existing booking systems ensures seamless adoption without extra costs. "Trusted partnerships drive meaningful climate action. Verified offsets turn everyday bookings into environmental solutions."

The solution already operates in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. Scalable design allows quick adaptation to regional regulations and traveler preferences. Agencies access tools through standard platforms, while travelers see offset options during checkout. This partnership merges global tech infrastructure with carbon expertise. One provides the framework for data-driven decisions, the other ensures credible environmental projects. Together, they create a closed-loop system for sustainable travel choices.

How the Travel Impact Suite empowers travel sellers

Accurate environmental metrics are becoming essential tools for modern travel agencies. New platforms equip professionals with actionable insights to guide client choices while maintaining operational efficiency.

Centralized environmental intelligence

The Data Hub aggregates carbon emissions information across transportation modes and accommodations. This repository enables:

• Cross-comparison of flight, hotel, and ground transport impacts
• Customized queries for specific itineraries using Travel Impact Explorer
• Adaptation to preferred calculation methods per agency requirements
  

Seamless integration with existing reservation systems eliminates platform switching. Travel sellers access real-time emissions data during standard workflows.

From insight to action

Beyond reporting, the system provides practical solutions. The mitigation feature suggests lower-impact alternatives like:

• Alternative routes with reduced flight emissions
• Rail options replacing short-haul flights

Hotels with verified sustainability certifications
For unavoidable emissions, integrated offsetting connects clients to reforestation and renewable energy projects. Travel Impact Booster's catalog simplifies supporting verified initiatives during checkout.

Leveraging global partnerships for enhanced impact

Strategic alliances are accelerating eco-conscious transformations in tourism. Industry leaders collaborate to standardize environmental metrics, ensuring travelers receive consistent data across services. These partnerships enable agencies to offer credible solutions without complex integrations.

Collaborations with sector-specific experts

Travalyst’s Travel Impact Model brings uniformity to flight emission calculations. This partnership helps agencies display verified data during bookings. ACRISS extends this standardization to car rentals, creating ground transport metrics that align with regional regulations.
Hotel sustainability data gains depth through Greentripper and Greenview integrations. These collaborations provide environmental impact details for accommodations. Joseph Beaudin, CEO of CHOOOSE, states: "Combining offset options with aviation fuel certificates creates adaptable decarbonization paths for customers."

Building worldwide sustainability networks

The partner ecosystem spans 40+ countries, addressing local preferences and compliance needs. ICAO ensures aviation metrics meet international standards, while regional alliances adapt solutions for specific markets. This approach lets travel agencies serve global customers with localized environmental information.
"Scaling sustainability requires unified efforts. Partners provide the infrastructure to mainstream sustainable travel options." _ Sally Davey, Travalyst CEO
New market entries use existing partner frameworks for faster adoption. Customers encounter standardized environmental data when booking flights, hotels, or rental cars. Travel sellers access these tools through familiar platforms, reducing training needs and operational friction.

Enhanced features and benefits for travel agents and customers

Digital tools now simplify eco-supportive decisions across travel planning. A streamlined portal gives professionals and travelers immediate access to environmental solutions during bookings. This system removes technical barriers while maintaining accuracy.

User-friendly portals for instant carbon offsetting

The platform calculates emissions for flights, hotels, and cars in seconds. Agents see real-time impact data during itinerary creation. Clients receive clear offset options with verified project details before confirming trips.
Automatic receipt generation supports corporate sustainability reporting. Travelers accessing itineraries through Dynamic Travel Documents can independently offset emissions post-booking. This dual approach serves both agency-managed and self-service scenarios.

Key features include:

• Single-screen carbon calculations for multi-stop journeys
• Transparent pricing tied to regional offset standards
• Project maps showing reforestation sites and renewable energy facilities
  

Verified initiatives focus on measurable outcomes like forest regeneration and solar farm development. Clients track contributions through unique project IDs, building confidence in climate actions. The system integrates with existing workflows, requiring no additional software installations.
"Accessible tools turn everyday bookings into environmental progress. Transparency drives meaningful participation in carbon reduction."

Agents gain competitive advantages through value-added services. Travelers achieve personal sustainability goals without complicating purchase processes. This synergy between convenience and accountability reshapes sustainable travel practices.
