Offsetting mechanisms may not be the most appropriate tool for reducing travel emissions. Instead, other measures such as combining the attendance of several events in one long-distance trip seem to be a more promising option. A more systematic approach to obtaining emissions data on the event's food and energy consumption may assist in selecting more climate-friendly accommodations and event venues to try to keep the event's emissions low.
