Sustainable Travel International

About us

Our world faces a wide range of threats from climate change and natural resource consumption to extreme poverty. Travel and tourism can be a contributing factor to many of these problems including misuse and degradation of precious ecosystems, economic leakage, and loss of cultural traditions.

However, as the world’s largest and most diverse global industry, travel and tourism represents a powerful mechanism to solve these same issues. When planned and managed responsibly, tourism can be a sustainable development tool for many countries and communities to confront these very threats.

Sustainable Travel International works with communities, companies, governments and organizations to create a better path forward for some of the most vulnerable destinations around the world. We’re working towards a more sustainable future – one characterized by clean beaches, protected parks, economic justice, cultural preservation and the engagement of millions of travelers who want to make the world a better place through their choices of where and how they travel.
