As it does for sport, Decathlon aims with its specific structure to democratize travel.

“Many of our customers make their first sports trip thanks to us. Affordability is very important to us, sport and nature should be accessible for everyone says Estelle Verdier, CEO of Decathlon Travel.

Company with mission

In addition, the trips offered are dedicated to both beginners and insiders, “with prices that are always controlled and fair for all stakeholders. Decathlon Travel wants to be a committed player for responsible tourism. A company with a mission since 2022, the company offers nearly 50% of its stays in France and makes it a point of honor to calculate and communicate the carbon impact of each stay offered on the platform.

A little over a year following its creation Decathlon Travel offers nearly 500 responsible sports stays in 50 destinations and 25 sports universes. From the peaks of Mont-Blanc to the turquoise waters of Bali or in the footsteps of Finnish trappers, as a couple, with the family or by joining a group, there is something for everyone.

The platform aims to be a travel facilitator by quickly accessing a selection of travel offers with guaranteed quality, combining sport and discovery. ” Our customers want to go on a sporting trip but several barriers stand in the way: that of the level, they think they are too amateur, that of the price, they think that leaving is too expensive and that of practicality, they do not know how to organize themselves. . Our platform makes it possible to remove all these obstacles says Estelle Verbier.

It should also be remembered that Decathlon is also responsible for designing the uniforms of the 45,000 volunteers in preparation for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
