Green Globe International has just entered into a new agreement with ISLANDS Magazine to help out Green Globe Certified properties and tourism attractions located in island destinations around the world.
The new feature will provide ISLANDS readers and subscribers alike with up-to-date insights into the green travel marketplace. As an exclusive sustainability partner, Green Globe will also provide regular editorial contributions inviting ISLANDS readers to consider how to go green at home as well as when they travel.
“In addition to these editorial collaborations, we will be working together to expand the marketing opportunities for Green Globe clients via cooperative advertising and joint promotional activities at travel shows,” said Guido Bauer, CEO of Green Globe Certification.
ISLANDS magazine and its website, Islands.com, reach over half a million upscale travelers each issue.
“ISLANDS has a long and proud history of showcasing sustainable travel,” said Ken Leandro, ISLANDS publisher. “From our leadership in starting the Caribbean Sustainable Tourism Awards back in 1991 to our more recent ‘Blue List’ special editions, we’ve tried to give credit where credit is due. We are very pleased now to partner with Green Globe and to redouble our efforts to steer travelers to resorts that are meeting certification standards.”
The Green Globe brand and program, which essentially began at the United Nations Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992, has primarily been used in the travel and tourism industry but is now being expanded to include a growing number of environmentally responsible businesses in a variety of market sectors. The Green Globe brand is a symbol for the world’s increasing awareness of environmental responsibility and response to global climate change, and includes the leading sustainability certification and benchmarking programs, carbon footprint calculation and offset programs, and a broad range of consulting services.
