In 2026, Toundrigo group and its brands—Toundra Voyages, Receptour Canada, Windigo Aventure and Think Incentive—were recognized for their ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability principles into their day-to-day operations. This recognition marks a major milestone, as Toundrigo became the first North American DMC to earn Travelife certification.
The Travelife certification, awarded following a comprehensive independent on-site audit, recognizes our excellence in social and environmental sustainability. We comply with more than 200 criteria related to sustainability management, office operations, working with suppliers, and customer communication.
At Toundrigo, sustainability is more than a goal—it is a commitment deeply embedded in the way we do business. In 2019, we created the ToundrigoCare committee to implement meaningful and responsible sustainable practices across all our operations. Driven by a genuine desire to make a positive impact, we embarked on the Travelife certification journey, aligning our activities with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and adapting them to the realities of the tourism industry.
How does Travelife Certification work?
Travelife is a three-stage certification programme for travel agencies:
- Travelife Engaged – the first stage of the programme
- Travelife Partner – the second level of recognition
- Travelife Certified – the highest level of certification (ours)
The audit confirms that our sustainability management system and responsible practices have been effectively implemented throughout the organisation and meet the requirements of the Travelife Certified Standard.
To maintain this certification, our company is recertified every two years, ensuring that we continue to meet the required standards.
