In 2025, three extraordinary new MAKE TRAVEL MATTER\u00ae Experiences<\/a> are joining our itineraries, each offering a meaningful way to engage with sustainability and responsible tourism. From a groundbreaking regenerative garden in England to a waste-reducing initiative in Venice, these experiences will deepen your connection with the places you visit, helping you tour responsibly while supporting the communities that call them home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step into the lush world of the Eden Project<\/a>, a stunning global garden built within a former clay mine in Cornwall, England<\/a>. It started as a small idea in the late 1990s, when a group of nature-lovers wanted to create a project that would make a difference for the climate. They bought a disused, lifeless clay pit and turned it into a sprawling inside-rainforest. Now, beyond its immediate beauty, the Eden Project is a hub of education and sustainability. It provides educational programs for the local community, ensuring that locals can actively participate in shaping a sustainable future. But they go beyond their immediate location, with education programs such as scholarships, apprenticeships, and even degree programs for anyone who wants to engage with environmental issues. They help develop this in students of all ages, from preschoolers to university students and professionals. Apprenticeships and degree programs prepare the next generation to address global challenges, while creative leadership initiatives empower individuals and organizations to drive change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll now visit the Eden Project as part of the Best of Devon and Cornwall<\/a> <\/strong>Trafalgar tour. Guided by Emma, one of Eden\u2019s passionate storytellers, you’ll learn how this innovative project is regenerating nature and tackling climate change. Wander through the remarkable Biomes, discover contemporary art installations inspired by the environment, and relish in the chance to explore the world\u2019s largest indoor rainforest. This experience directly supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: 4 & 13: Quality Education<\/a> and Climate Action<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A visit to the Eden Project highlights how sustainability can go beyond reducing harm\u2014it can be regenerative. You’ll see how the team focuses on improving social, economic, and environmental conditions through initiatives like their ambitious geothermal energy project, funded by the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education is at the heart of everything we do. We offer learning opportunities from preschool to degree level and beyond to connect people of all ages with the natural world, better understand their place within it and play their part in shaping the future. <\/em>

Alongside an established school programme, our apprenticeships and degrees provide a sound grounding for the future crew of planet Earth, creative leadership experiences enable organisations and individuals to inspire and facilitate change, and community training programmes enable those who want to roll up their sleeves to make a difference where they live.<\/em><\/p>-Eden project<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\nTour not found.\n\n\n
