Last month, you met Sustainable Suzie, the United States Tour Operators Association's superhero with a zeal for thwarting wasteful, destructive, insensitive travel practices. Did you join her on her first adventure, jetting across the globe on United Airlines flights powered by sustainable aviation fuel? |
If you haven't flipped through the Sustainable Suzie comic book and shared it with colleagues and clients, then... |
|
Act now. The story is fun (and funny!), but the lessons are serious. Every traveler can make decisions, large and small, that really move the needle toward a more sustainable future for our planet and our industry. |

If you've already shared the comic book far and wide, you're invited to alert industry friends and clients to these additional tips USTOA has compiled for being a more responsible traveler. |

As USTOA celebrates its 50th anniversary and looks 50 years forward, the organization is pleased to have Sustainable Suzie and like-minded partners on its side, working to protect the planet for generations of travelers to come. |

Earlier this year, USTOA hosted the first ever Sustainability is Responsibility Summit in Bodø in collaboration with Visit Norway. The country is powered almost entirely by sustainable hydroelectric energy and will phase out gasoline-fueled cars by 2025. Oslo, the capital, is one of the world's most sustainable cities. And in the land of the northern lights, where the Sami people herd reindeer and keep customs such as the chant-like joik alive, visitors feel immersed in an authentic culture unlike any they've known. |

Sustainable Suzie flies United, and there's a good reason. United Airlines is an industry leader in curtailing emissions that contribute to climate change. United has invested more in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) globally than any other airline, and they're so committed to combating climate change, they're on a path toward reducing 100% of their greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. |
