Mobility is a key part of building a more responsible and sustainable tourism model. One of the major challenges facing towns and cities today is improving efficiency while reducing emissions, and public transport remains one of the most effective ways of achieving that goal.
With more than seventy years of experience, Avant Grup has established itself as a leading name in the sector. Its success lies in its ability to adapt continually not only to changing mobility habits but also to a new vision of tourism that is increasingly aware of its responsibility to future generations.
Travelling with peace of mind
Sitting back, looking out of the window and enjoying the scenery – this is something most of us do without a second thought, yet it is only possible through a deep sense of trust. Avant Grup’s commitment is to ensure that this trust is honoured not only in the professionalism of its drivers and the technology behind its vehicles but also in the values that guide the company.
Its fleet of coaches, minibuses and chauffeur-driven luxury vehicles is designed to provide the right solution for every need, including school transport, accessible mobility services, sightseeing excursions, cruise operations, private hires or transport for businesses and associations.
At the heart of its approach is a fleet of more than 250 vehicles that is continually renewed—the average vehicle age is less than four years—with the aim of minimising energy consumption and lowering travel-related emissions. The full digitalisation of its management system is another cornerstone of its strategy that optimises routes, allows services to be planned more efficiently and lowers the impact on destinations.
A commitment that goes beyond mobility
Alongside its environmental commitments, the company also integrates social responsibility principles and good practices aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), an approach that has earned it Barcelona Sustainable Destination accreditation.
Avant Grup works alongside businesses, institutions and other sector stakeholders to promote more organised and balanced mobility by helping to distribute visitor flows more effectively and lower pressure on the most heavily visited tourist areas.
The company is also involved in numerous social initiatives, including El Bus de l’Òpera, which provides young people, older adults and communities with fewer opportunities with free access to opera performances; Festa Esplai, an educational and recreational event organised in conjunction with Fundesplai and the Federació Catalana de l’Esplai [Catalan Federation of Youth Clubs]; Som Natura, a project that promotes environmental volunteerism and citizen participation in protecting the local area; and the Pere Tarrés Foundation, which works to ensure that children and young people in vulnerable situations can take part in educational and leisure activities throughout the year.
Protecting what matters most
At a time when destinations are working to manage mobility more effectively and lower the impact of travel, the commitment and experience of companies like Avant Grup provide an important example of the path forward for shared transport.
Sitting back, looking out the window and enjoying the scenery is all the more rewarding when you know you are travelling efficiently and responsibly and helping to ensure that the places you visit can be enjoyed for generations to come.
