  2007-05-30 Tricorona AB launches climate neutral travel in conjunktion with resevaruhuset ABRESEVARUHUSET AB ANNOUNCED TODAY IN CONJUNCTION WITH TRICORONA AB (STOCKHOLM: TRIC) THE LAUNCH OF THEIR NEW SERVICE FOR CALCULATION AND OFFSETTING OF CLIMATE IMPACT FROM TRAVEL. The service allows travellers to calculate the climate impact of their travel and to neutralise this through the purchase of carbon credits from renewable energy projects. The projects are certified under the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism and also meet the criteria for Gold Standard, a voluntary standard for carbon emission reduction projects that has been developed by over 40 environmental and social NGOs, including the WWF. ”Our customers wanted the ability to offset the climate impact of their travel, and we needed a trustworthy partner who understood our requirements for quality, both in terms of the method used to calculate climate impact and in the choice of carbon reduction projects. That’s why we chose Tricorona,” says Bo Ingelshed, Head of Sales at Resevaruhuset. By investing in renewable energy generation, these projects contribute to reducing the world’s dependency on fossil fuels. Because the projects are certified under the Kyoto Protocol and meet the criteria specified in the Gold Standard, customers are guaranteed carbon emissions reductions that are achieved with due regard for sustainable development at a local level. ”Carbon offsetting has received a lot of publicity lately, not all of it positive,” says Per Egstam, Head of Climate Neutralisation at Tricorona. ”We take into account all emissions of greenhouse gases, not just carbon dioxide, and because we only use certified projects, we can offer the market a climate neutralisation service of the highest quality.” Resevaruhuset, one of Sweden’s largest travel agencies, has been a leader in providing business and leisure travel solutions for over 40 years, giving its customers access to the entire breadth of the travel industry. ”Our business customers choose Resevaruhuset due to the breadth of our offering, where close personal attention before, during and after the journey is an integral part of the service, just as natural for us as having the lowest and most realistic prices,” says Bo Ingelshed. Companies that want to let their travellers book online have access to a booking system that is both simple and comprehensive, with features such as policy management, discount airfares and protection against credit card fraud. Holidaymakers can find a broad selection of holidays to meet every requirement – weekend breaks, discount airfares, cruises, themed holidays, and more.
