CARMACAL carbon calculator is a tool which allows tour operators to measure the complete and detailed carbon footprint of their tour packages. This includes not only transport to/from the destination, but also accommodation, local transport and activities. CARMACAL has been upgraded to make it more intuitive and user-friendly for tour operators. The new CARMACAL (BETA version) is currently available for any company to test free of charge for any company until the middle of September 2023. SUSTOUR participants even have free access until the end of 2023.
