The Community tree planting scheme is an exclusive project for Serenity Holidays customers. The aim of the project is to not only to provide carbon savings through the planting of indigenous trees in The Gambia, but also to have wider sustainable benefits especially in relation to the local communities.
When a booking is made for a holiday or flight, whether it is over the phone, on our website, through a travel agent or by invoice, there will be an option to carbon offset the flight for the additional cost of £5 per person for flights to The Gambia, Senegal or Cape Verde or £3 per person for flights to Corsica or Sardinia.
Further information on the scheme will be sent out with the invoices so unless bookings are within 12 weeks of travel, a decision doesn't have to be made straightaway. Paying the offset sum is optional so if a decision is made to opt out the amount is simply deducted from the invoice when payment is made; alternatively this can be done verbally with a sales representative.
Climate change is a worldwide problem and whilst we cannot solve it, we can all pull together to make a difference!!
