Green certification programs

      Travelers are challenged to distinguish truly sustainable efforts from the “greenwashed” travel packages. While there is no single internationally-accepted standard for green tourism, there are several certification programs that define what being green really means and provide their stamp of approval to those who qualify. To find out more about a place where you’re planning to vacation, look in their promotional materials for an indication of certification or qualification. For listings and descriptions of certified tours or lodgings, get in touch with Earth Routes or visit the websites of these organizations:
