What Is Carbon Neutral Travel?

Every hotel booking through IMPT removes 1 ton of CO₂ from the atmosphere — 28 times more than an average hotel night produces. At zero extra cost to you.

The simple definition

Carbon neutral travel means your trip removes as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it produces. When you book a hotel through IMPT, 1 ton of CO₂ is physically removed using UN-verified carbon credits — funded by IMPT from its commission, not charged to you.

An average hotel night produces approximately 35 kg of CO₂. IMPT removes 1,000 kg per booking. That makes every IMPT booking deeply carbon negative — not just neutral.

How carbon removal works

There is an important difference between carbon offsetting and carbon removal:

Carbon offsetting (the old way)

Traditional carbon offsets fund projects that prevent future emissions — for example, protecting a forest that would otherwise be cut down. This doesn't remove CO₂ already in the air; it just stops adding more.

Carbon removal (what IMPT uses)

Carbon removal physically extracts CO₂ from the atmosphere and stores it permanently. IMPT uses UN-verified carbon removal credits — independently audited by third parties under the United Nations framework. The CO₂ is removed, measured, and verified. Not just promised.

Why this matters for travellers

When you book a hotel through IMPT, you're not paying a "green fee" or buying a feel-good certificate. Real carbon removal happens, measured in verified tons. It's the difference between a hotel claiming to be eco-friendly and one where the environmental impact is independently proven.

Carbon neutral vs carbon negative vs net zero

Carbon neutral

Emissions produced = emissions removed. Net impact is zero.

Carbon negative (what IMPT achieves)

More CO₂ is removed than produced. IMPT removes 28× the CO₂ of an average stay — making every booking carbon negative by a significant margin.

Net zero

A long-term target used by organisations and governments — reducing emissions to near zero and removing the remainder. IMPT's per-booking model delivers net-zero-equivalent outcomes at the individual trip level, today.

Frequently asked questions

Is carbon neutral travel more expensive?
Not with IMPT. Booking through IMPT costs exactly the same as booking direct. The carbon removal is funded by IMPT from its commission — travellers pay nothing extra.
How do I know the carbon removal is real?
IMPT uses UN-verified carbon removal credits. Every credit is independently audited under the United Nations framework. You're not buying a promise — you're funding verified, measured removal of CO₂ from the atmosphere.
Does carbon neutral travel include flights?
IMPT's carbon removal programme currently covers hotel bookings. One ton of CO₂ is removed per booking regardless of the length of stay. Flights are not currently covered, but the hotel removal still more than compensates for the accommodation portion of any trip.
What countries can I book carbon neutral hotels in?
IMPT lists over 1.7 million hotels in every country on earth. Every booking, in any country, triggers the same 1 ton of CO₂ removal. Browse green hotels by country or city to find your next carbon neutral stay.
