“The pandemic made the mundane extraordinary. To visit family, friends, places of longing, or for business purposes. Holidays, public holidays and special occasions are not excuses for traveling. It is no longer an option to travel. We are changing the way we travel and are now asking ourselves how we impact our environment by taking flights, boat trips, and traveling by train. Marc O’Polo stated that we want to celebrate travel in an entirely new way. We want it to be more sustainable and conscious.”
