Does Intrepid Travel profit from carbon offsetting?
The cost of the carbon offset is factored into the trip price. The trip price you pay, similar to many other travel companies, covers expenses like overheads and agent commissions plus a small contribution to the company’s profits. However, any money we make from the offsets on our trips is minimal. Intrepid did not include offsets on our trips to generate additional revenue. It stemmed from our commitment to responsible and sustainable travel and to the future of our planet.
