Protect and conserve our planet's most vulnerable destinations by transforming tourism's impact on nature and people.
About us
Travel and tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors of the global economy and while irresponsible and haphazard development can take an enormous toll on the environment and the well-being of local communities, tourism also has potential to generate economic opportunity and provide the incentive for cultural and natural resource protection—particularly in the world’s most vulnerable environmental and social regions. Since 2002, Sustainable Travel International has been working to improve lives and protect places by providing businesses and destinations with the guidance and support they need to plan responsibly for the future. We have found that the best approach to creating long-term sustainability is through empowerment— by providing stakeholders with the direction they need to effectively plan for, manage, monitor and promote their own path to safeguarding their future.

The Katingan Mentaya carbon offset project is using revolutionary technology to improve fire prevention detection efforts. In Indonesia's peat swamps, small fires can quickly spread across the landscape. The project helps prevent these fires by training new fire crews and purchasing Ororatech, the most advanced fire-sensing tool on the market. Project managers are now able to gauge fire danger in real-time, detect tiny hot-spot fires before they spread, and predict where future fires may start. This new technology, combined with more firefighters, improves project officials' ability to protect the people, plants, and animals that call Katingan Mentaya's unique landscape home. Read the full fire management report here: https://lnkd.in/ePPgMDYv.

In destinations that deal with overtourism, tourists outnumber residents. Locals often feel that tourists' needs come before theirs, leading to negative sentiments. Simple tasks like walking or driving to the grocery store become challenging as tourists crowd roads, sidewalks, and public transportation. In addition, an influx of tourists may drive up living costs, effectively pricing out locals.

A new study on surf ecosystems found that our favorite surf spots are critical to reducing climate change. They store 88 million tons of carbon thanks to seagrasses, marshes, mangroves, and coastal forests nearby. Surf spots around the world are threatened by coastal development, with only 3% of surf ecosystems currently protected by law. Read the link below to learn more. Carbon offset projects like the ones in our Climate Impact Portfolio help prevent the destruction of these ecosystems so they can remain effective carbon sinks. Help fight climate change and preserve our planet’s coastal ecosystems when you purchase carbon offsets from our portfolio today.
