Carbon neutral coach tour operator releases its first holiday collection

Toureasy is promoting itself as the UK’s first and only carbon neutral coach holiday tour operator. Its short breaks and holidays are aimed at families, friends, couples, solo travellers and groups large or small.  

From 1st November the new coach holiday tour operator will offer direct coach routes to and from its range of holiday destinations with 35 pick-up points across the West Midlands, East Midlands and South West. Toureasy aims to expand departure points in 2022 to cover more of the UK.

Packages will always include transport, accommodation and breakfast, with the majority of itineraries adding in evening meals, excursions and entertainment.

Holiday options and inaugural tours

Holiday categories include weekend getaways, heritage and culture tours, city breaks and seaside escapes.

Many tours have been specifically designed with mature travellers in mind, but there is family fun with ‘Kids For All Ages’ for group organisers looking for a thrill-packed break to a theme park, seaside sojourn or a visit to a family-friendly attraction.

With a Christmas collection comprising of 35 departures, festive season breaks include the popular Christmas market destinations of Exeter, Winchester and Bath, as well as Blenheim Palace and Waddesdon Manor.

Inaugural tours include ‘Festive Torquay Treats with Bargain Bar’, departing from the West Midlands, as well as ‘Turkey & Tinsel in Caernarfon and Stunning Snowdonia’, departing from the South West.

For those who want a lucky dip option, Toureasy’s ‘Mystery Save & Surprise Breaks’ have been created to give holidaymakers a treat with a difference.

A focus on sustainability

Toureasy’s ambition is to offer guilt-free and affordable holidays that people will be proud to take. Founder Sean Taggart said: “The team has worked incredibly hard through an unusual year to create a mix of popular and more unique holidays that make coach touring holidays an option for young and older folk, families and groups of all types.

“There is no such thing as a typical coach holiday customer at Toureasy – just people who love travelling and sharing their experiences with others.”

“Our holidays make sustainable holidays accessible for all.”

Sean Taggart, founder of Toureasy

“Similarly, everyone ought to be able to holiday sustainably. That is why we will always offer holidays that are affordable and where everyone that travels with us also automatically makes a positive contribution to protecting our planet. That’s why every holidaymaker will receive a certificate after each trip confirming the carbon offset made on their behalf.”

Toureasy says it is breaking new ground by offsetting 100% of its carbon emissions and estimates that it will have offset over 1,000 tonnes of carbon by the end of 2021. Its first 100 tonnes of carbon emissions were offset prior to the company launching, it claims.
