Our Sustainability Journey -Our employees and customers love the great outdoors. The places we visit are special, and it’s our responsibility to keep them that way, long into the future. As part of Hotelplan UK, Inghams and Santa’s Lapland were early signatories of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism, to halve emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. We’ve also signed the WTTC’s Nature Positive Travel and Tourism commitment. Read our latest Impact Report here.
