The concept of sustainable tourism is receiving popularity in the recent times and tourists are driven by the idea of making a positive impact on the environment.

Plants help us to reduce pollution by decreasing carbon dioxide and increasing oxygen in the air, they help eliminate toxins.

For the upcoming World Environment Day, tripXOXO is taking the initiative a step further by executing a campaign of planting trees on behalf of every customer. This special campaign was started on Earth Day (22nd April 2019) and will continue till World Tourism Day (27th September 2019). On bookings of Rs.3000 or more by a customer, a tree will be planted on behalf of the customer. The certificate and the location of the tree will be shared with the customer as well. Through this initiative, the idea is to spread awareness among the travellers that sustainable tourism will eventually help in conservation of the beautiful and diverse nature.
