Bon Appetit.Buttery croissants like only the French can do. Spicy paella made fresh in Barcelona. Pizza done the authentic way in Rome... Its all about tantalising your taste buds in Europe. See p.13 for more.

You only know when you go... We travel for the moments. Some moments are awe inspiring - they make your jaw drop, your eyes widen and your heart beat faster. Like the first time you look up in the Sistine Chapel, or taking your first steps up the Great Pyramids in Egypt. Others are a little more low-key, like learning your first Italian sayings from the locals in Florence, or watching the sun set over the Mediterranean.

Its the diversity that makes Europe special - the rich local cultures, the unique regional food, and the amazing characters you meet along the way. Its about widening your perspective and experiencing new cultures that have a profound impact on your life. And ok, maybe its a little bit about the bragging rights back home as well...

Oceans cover 71% of the Earths surface. The oceans of the world form the largest habitat on earth, supporting the greatest variety of life.

At Contiki we love the ocean, whether we are relaxing on a cruise, hopping from one beautiful island to another or simply taking a dip.

We know just how important the oceans are & through our projects around the world from the Mesoamerican Reef, the worlds second largest reef, to the Mediterranean Sea or the beachfronts in Thailand we are working hard to protect them.

Recycling. This brochure youre holding in your hot little hands is not only filled with awesome trips & cool stuff to do, its also good for the planet. At Contiki were committed to using 100% recycled paper for our brochure pages, 95% of which is post consumer waste (thats litter to you & me). In simple terms, between Contiki & our Travel Corporation sister companies were saving over 70,600 trees* a year.

Using recycled paper means were using less trees, sending less waste to landfills & consuming 20% less energy making the paper. The tree fiber used to make our paper is also multi-forest certified weve got the seal of approval by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) & a Blue Angel Certification too. Plus, the paper making process used to produce our paper is chlorine free, meaning less dioxins are released into our waterways. On top of all this a super efficient filtration process means the paper mill returns the water back to the environment cleaner than when it came in. For more ways that were helping to look after our planet visit contiki.com.au/responsibletravel* Calculations provided by the Environmental Defense Fund

Our Foundation. Were founding partners of the non-profit The Travel Corporation Conservation Foundation.Our Foundation has committed over US$2 million to help underprivileged communities & support sustainable tourism around the world. Its part of its commitment to preserving our planet for generations to come (so far, the Foundation has helped protect 3 million hectares of forest in Brazil, supported the World Wildlife Funds work with indigenous sustainable tourism in Australia, plus much more). Whats more, were committed to continuing with this support for sustainable tourism for years to come. Were the primary sponsors of The Tourism for Tomorrow Awards encouraging tourism operators to develop & share sustainable tourism practices around the world. For the full story & more detail about the projects weve done & our plans for the future visit contiki.com.au/responsibletravelTaking care of the environment doesnt need to stop when you travel you can help look out for the planet wherever you are. Stuff like re-using your drink bottle, using less packaging, recycling or simply turning off your TV are all really simple ways we can all help to lessen our environmental impact.
