For this reason, activities that involve the use of animals in captivity will no longer be sponsored and therefore cannot be purchased through easyJet Holidays. including sporting events involving them.

The tour operator, which is growing strongly in the United Kingdom, will from now on support even more responsible travel to also listen to the requests and preferences of travelers who use the service.

Our research tells us that sustainable travel experiences are important to our customers,” continued Callaghan.
