A CANADA FIRST: CLIMATE-FRIENDLY TRAVEL AT NO EXTRA CHARGE

Hume Travel launches FlyGreen.ca

Vancouver B.C., 04 December 2007

Hume Travel announces the immediate launch of FlyGreen.ca,
Canada’s first climate-friendly travel site for climate-conscious
travellers. FlyGreen.ca is an online travel agency that makes a
contribution to programs which offset carbon emissions.
 
One
of the most serious issues facing everyone today is climate change, and
most forms of transport are ‘carbon culprits’. Using FlyGreen.ca,
travellers book with WestJet or Air Canada (same low web fares, no
hidden extras, no booking fees), and for each booking FlyGreen.ca
contributes towards projects that prevent greenhouse gases from being
emitted into the atmosphere.

“We are delighted to announce today’s launch of our new FlyGreen.ca
website,” said Nicole Murcutt, Director of the program. “Travellers go
through FlyGreen.ca to access the airlines’ web links and book for
exactly the same low web fares as booking direct. By booking through
FlyGreen.ca they make an important contribution to carbon offsets and
it doesn’t cost them one extra penny!

“We believe this is the first program of its kind in Canada,” she
continued “and are certain that travellers who used to book directly
with WestJet or Air Canada will want to do so through FlyGreen.ca as of
today.”
