Pushing Sustainable Travel in Europe: Our Partnership with Europe’s Famous Hostels

As the summer holidays are in full swing, we are thrilled to announce a new and exciting partnership with Europe’s Famous Hostels, a non-profit association of independent hostels that unites around 50 top-rated facilities across 19 countries in Europe. This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to push sustainability and move towards carbon neutrality, enhancing the opportunities for travelers to engage in sustainable travel practices.

 

Teaming Up for a Greener Future

Europe’s Famous Hostels has been a long-standing partner of Eurail, promoting sustainable train travel across the continent. Now, we are proud to become their chosen partner for coach travel! Through this collaboration, travelers who book a reservation at any of the 50 hostels affiliated with Europe’s Famous Hostels will receive up to 20% off their stay when they choose to travel sustainably with FlixBus.

 

The Eco-Wanderer Calculator: Your Ticket to Savings

This discount program is designed to reward travelers who make sustainable choices both in their accommodation and their travel. To make this process easy, Europe’s Famous Hostels has developed an innovative tool called the Eco-Wanderer calculator. This calculator measures the CO2 emissions for each passenger per kilometer traveled by FlixBus and compares it to the emissions of a plane on the same route. Based on this calculation, a discount voucher is generated, which travelers can redeem by presenting their FlixBus ticket upon check-in at their selected hostel.

 

 

More Rewards for Sustainable Choices

But the benefits don’t stop there! In addition to accommodation discounts, travelers who opt for sustainable travel with FlixBus will also receive a discount on FlixBus tickets throughout our extensive international network. This not only makes sustainable travel more accessible but also encourages exploration of Europe in an eco-friendly way.

 

Shared Values and a Perfect Partnership

Our partnership with Europe’s Famous Hostels is built on a shared commitment to sustainability and fair pricing. Both organizations are dedicated to making travel affordable and sustainable for everyone. By working together, we aim to incentivize a more responsible approach to travel that is not only fun and adventurous but also mindful of our planet. Check out our overnight journeys that you can hop on to explore your favorite destinations.

 

We are excited to continue our journey towards sustainable travel together. Join Flixbus on the road to sustainability and let’s make travel better for everyone
