Our Partnerships

By planting trees we can help clean the air, fight climate change and bring forests back to life.

We care about sustainable travel.

For the eco-conscious, travelling can present somewhat of a conundrum, and we are no exception, we send hundreds of students on life-changing educational and cultural experiences around the world - this, unfortunately, adds up to a lot of air miles and a lot of carbon emissions.

We’d be the first to admit our footprint isn’t perfect and with calls for unprecedented changes, we are happy to announce a new partnership to continue our sustainable development. We are proud to have partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects a global community that’s inspiring positive change in our world, to help reduce the impact of travelling.

"Every time a student is booked onto a trip we plant a tree on your behalf, making you part of a community changing the world"

Our Partners have so far planted over 250 million trees throughout Africa, contributing to positive social and environmental impacts in the areas that need it most.

Why trees?

By planting trees for every traveller, we can also:

  • Provide education and employment to local communities in Africa.
  • Restore key habitats for biodiversity.
  • Improve the quantity and quality of water supplies.
  • Remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and improve air quality.
  • Reduce soil erosion creating better agriculture.

Eden Projects have tree nurseries and reforestation sites in areas where tree planting is needed most.

Financial security

Financial security for our customers is of the highest importance to us.

Liability Insurance

To protect both our company and our customers Educating Adventures has combined liability insurance incorporating public and products liability and professional indemnity cover. Our underwriters are QBE and First Underwriting Ltd.

Legal

Educating Adventures banks with Virgin Money, NAB, Citibank and the Bank of New Zealand. Our accountants and taxation advisers are Deloitte.

Financial Security

Educating Adventures protects and has in place bonding and client accounts to give our clients peace of mind with regards to financial security. Each year we undergo a series of financial reviews with the various associations we are members of.

In the UK we hold an Air Travel Organisers License (ATOL) with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Our ATOL number is 9231. ATOL protects customers from losing money or being stranded abroad. It does this by carrying out checks on the tour operators and travel organisers it licenses and requiring a financial guarantee called a bond. If a tour operator goes out of business the CAA will make a refund to the customer or if the customer is abroad they will arrange for the customer to finish their holiday and fly home.

In New Zealand we are a member of the Travel Agents Association of New Zealand (TAANZ). TAANZ has established a Bonding Scheme. As a member we subscribe to consumer protection arrangements including operating a client account. It is compulsory for every full member of TAANZ to belong to the Bonding Scheme.

In Australia we are a member of the Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA). ATIA represents the majority of retail and corporate travel agents, tour operators, wholesalers and consolidators in Australia. In addition to an annual financial review we are also required to operate a client account. A client account provides clients with peace of mind, knowing their money is safeguarded. Funds deposits are to be used only for securing the required travel package elements and not for funding day to day operational costs of the agency.
