Go Beyond Carbon Offsetting
The Tide Has Turned is different. Our aim is to help you experience the enriching nature of travel in a holistic way, taking into account the global impact of travel on people and the planet. Let us be your guide through the complexities of ethical trade-offs and choices.

What’s Wrong With Travel Today?
People can now travel more often and to more places than ever before – but it’s increasingly apparent that travel can also have harmful effects on the planet and its people.
For most big travel companies it’s business as usual; they don’t want to address this challenge. They offer high street agents significant commissions and free holidays to encourage them to push their products.
These incentives are often invisible to the traveller who may not, as a result, get the best or most appropriate advice.
Can Travel Be Ethical?
The Tide Has Turned lives and breathes responsibility. We can help you travel in a more responsible manner. We're often asked how we do it.
Have a look at our approach. No, it's not just about avoiding flying - it goes much deeper. Every recommendation we make, every decision we take on your behalf is scrutinised in a number of ways to ensure your impact is minimised or even positive.
