Eighty Days is pleased to announce that we’ve engaged with Travelife for Tour Operators!

Travelife is an internationally recognized training, management, and certification program aiming for sustainability in tourism. Travelife has a three-stage approach: (1) Travelife Engaged; (2) Travelife Partner; and (3) Travelife Certified. We are currently at stage 1, and we’re working to move forward to stage 2 and become an official Travelife Partner.

To reach the Travelife Partner, we must meet over 100 sustainability criteria that can be grouped into five key areas: office operations; product development; working with suppliers; customer relations; and destinations. Through regular training, awareness raising among our staff and suppliers, and implementing sustainability policies and practices, we will eventually aim to achieve the Travelife Certified stage, the third and highest level.

In line with our goals to introduce visitors to areas of Japan that we believe deserve more appreciation and to protect traditional cultures in danger of being lost, we at Eighty Days are also committing ourselves to taking the necessary steps to ensure a bright future for our planet.
