On his website, Decathlon Travel talks about his vision of Black Friday: “We prefer not to participate in the Black Friday rush with -70% or other significant discounts. We remain true to our corporate social responsibility commitments by offering justifiable promotions on our travel dates. Because yes, we believe in it! Therefore, local travel can be as exotic as traveling to the ends of the world!
Our discounts are measured and thoughtful because our prices are already the lowest of the year, so you can go on an adventure while receiving quality service. We cover most of the financial costs associated with the cuts so as not to result in a loss of profit for our partners. Our vision for responsible tourism is built throughout the year, not just one day out of 365.
”
