Sustainable travel, one step at a time

‘Sustainable travel’ and ‘Responsible travel’ are terms that are used quite a lot by companies, but what do they really mean?

We want to make sure that we walk the talk, cut through the buzzwords, and are transparent about the steps we’re taking to make a positive impact.

At Macs, we focus on four key areas where we can make a real difference. Measuring our carbon footprint, maintaining and restoring trails, becoming B Corp certified, and advocating for low impact self-guided travel.

Support Local

Self-guided travel is what we do best. From the get-go we’ve always worked with local suppliers and small businesses. And by offering walking and cycling trips, we’re keeping it low-impact on our routes with as light a footprint on the environment as possible.

It's all about breaking free from the tourist traps and exploring like a local. No big groups or crowded buses here! Instead, we're all about cosy B&Bs and locally run hotels, perfect for solos, couples or groups of friends. You'll get a taste of the real culture and support the local economy at the same time. It's a win-win.

Trail Maintenance

Teaming up with organizations to support the paths our customers walk on. We're donating $10 for every customer traveling along the West Highland Way and the South West Coast Path in 2023. These paths are like the lifeblood of our business, and we want to make sure they're here for generations to come. Learn more about the importance of trail maintenance.

Our Carbon Footprint

Speaking of making the world better, we're also tackling our carbon footprint. We're teaming up with the amazing sustainability experts at eCollective, to measure and offset our emissions. We want to be responsible for our impact and take steps to minimize it.

B Corp

But we know more must be done to make a difference that benefits both people and the planet. So, we’re on a mission to become a certified B Corp. To get that B Corp stamp of approval, we're making sure our practices meet the highest standards of social and environmental standards.
