New Delhi:- Ecosia and Omio have teamed up to create a new tool for booking train travel. This tool aims to meet the growing demand for longer train trips, particularly from customers who want to reduce their environmental impact. The tool will also help to plant trees.

The aim is to help Ecosia users find and book train routes that have less impact on the environment. This way, they can reduce carbon emissions caused by other forms of travel, like flights. Additionally, by using Ecosia, users can support tree-planting projects and other efforts to fight climate change.

The partnership works by helping people who use Ecosia search for travel information. When users search for keywords related to train travel, like "London to Cologne" or "Munich to Berlin," a tool called "Ecosia Trains" appears. Using integration, users can directly search for basic details about their journey on Ecosia. If they are happy with the results of the search and want to take the train, the tool will take them to Omio's website to book their tickets.

Because you have to go through Ecosia's website and then Omio's website to book your trip, the tool can be described as a "tree-planting rail travel search tool. " Definitely, it's not a very easy and smooth process to book with just one click. The main aim is to make it easier for Ecosia users who care about the environment to find and book eco-friendly long distance transportation, specifically trains. They won't have to search for train options on Omio or other similar platforms themselves, as we will provide them with the information and booking options directly on our website.

Ecosia mentioned that they get over two million search requests every month from people looking to book train tickets in Europe. This shows that there are many people wanting to use simple and convenient tools to book train travel.

Worldwide, it is observed that approximately 2. 4% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are caused by aviation. This highlights the importance of making it easier to book train journeys over longer distances. On average, traveling by train produces 90% less carbon compared to air travel. By encouraging people to switch from air to rail for their trips, we can significantly reduce transport emissions.

Sadly, it is still difficult to find all the options for booking train tickets in one place. On the other hand, booking a flight is much easier because you can easily find the cheapest price. Omio is one of the few platforms that shows you all the train travel choices and their prices together.

The train search tool will now be on Ecosia for users in 15 countries. These countries include the UK, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Norway, USA, Canada, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Ukraine. These countries are where Omio has teamed up with train companies.

The Omio integration allows you to book tickets for rail travel on Amtrak, LNER, GWR, Avanti, SNCF, OBB, Eurostar, and more. Ecosia is a non-profit organization that will use all the money it receives from Omio for successful bookings to fund environmental projects. These projects include planting trees in areas with a lot of different plant and animal life, as well as places that have been harmed by the cutting down of trees. Ecosia will also invest in projects that promote sustainable farming and renewable sources of energy.

The couple mentioned that they want to make the collaboration bigger in the future by adding more features. For example, they want to include options for connecting with other services and other complicated travel extras within Ecosia. An Ecosia spokesperson said that they hope this partnership will grow in the future. They also mentioned that both Omio and Ecosia believe it is important to encourage people to use trains for travel.

Omio is a platform where you can book different types of transportation. This includes flights, which are not an environmentally friendly travel choice. Some people might say it's a bit hypocritical for a travel website that assists the airline industry in selling tickets to promote climate concerns when their own website profits from air travel.

However, the European startup initially emphasized and supported train travel as a more eco-friendly option for long-distance journeys. So, this partnership is connected to its original purpose when it was called GoEuro. The founder believed that it was important to make it easier for people to book train tickets and travel on Europe's extensive railway network.

In about ten years, many rail, bus, airline, and ferry companies have partnered with Omio's booking platform. This happened because Omio was successful in collaborating with these transport companies to add their tickets to its digital platform. The company wants to make it easy for travelers to compare and book different transportation options to get to their destination. They focus on providing a helpful service that works for any mode of transport. Although rail is listed first in the options for different modes of transportation, the search results will mainly show flight options when you look for long distance routes.

But you can say that it has become much easier for travelers in Europe and North America to book train trips to faraway places, thanks to travel booking platforms like Omio.

The Omio and Ecosia partnership makes it easier for environmentally-conscious consumers to find and book train trips. Omio gets to have its brand associated with the "sustainable travel" label on Ecosia. Its marketing team will use this as an example of how it promotes "conscious travel".
