Tuesday, January 31, 2006

“Take only pictures, leave only footprints, kill only time.” This adage is well-know to hikers and nature lovers, and it is starting to catch on with other travelers.
While recycling and no-littering are becoming habits at home, thanks to widespread information campaigns, environmentally-conscious visitors can still have a hard time finding options that are environmentally and socially responsible when traveling.
The GREEN GLOBE 21 Company Standard is a benchmarking and certification standard designed for businesses in 25 different sectors of the travel and tourism industry e.g. accommodations, administrative offices, airlines, airports, attractions, cruise vessels, golf courses, restaurants, vehicle rentals, tour operators etc.
The Standard requires an operation to first establish a baseline level of performance or Benchmark for environmental and socially responsible performance.
To be considered environmentally and socially responsible, businesses must meet all of the requirements of the GG21 Standard and be audited before becoming certified and earning the right to display the GREEN GLOBE logo with the tick.
CAST is the Alliance Partner for the Green Globe 21 program in the Caribbean. The region leads the world, with more than 50% of all properties certified by GG21 globally. Certified properties in the Caribbean include:
