Sustainable Travel

We’ve taken our commitment to sustainable tourism to the next level by becoming a member of Sustainable Travel International. As a member, we are part of a global movement of conscientious travelers and businesses that are passionate about making a difference and giving back to the places we depend on. Sustainable Travel International is a mission-driven organization dedicated to protecting and conserving our planet’s most vulnerable destinations. They are working to transform tourism’s impact on nature and people by working alongside local communities, engaging travelers and businesses in responsible practices, and strengthening destination management. Through this work, they aim to safeguard nature, combat climate change, and empower communities to preserve the integrity of destinations around the globe. To learn more about this cause that we are supporting through our membership, see our list of Carbon Offset Projects.

What will my carbon offsets support?

Sustainable Travel International stretches the impact of your carbon offset purchase by distributing each dollar across our Climate Impact Portfolio. This includes a mix of forestry, energy, blue/teal carbon, and innovative tech projects. They carefully select every carbon offset project that is included in their portfolio, ensuring to comply not only with the most rigorous standards for carbon offsetting but pass their own due diligence test. In addition to fighting climate change, they seek out projects that deliver social and environmental benefits beyond CO2 reductions and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
