Expedia: first to promote sustainable tourism
Expedia and the United Nations Foundation announced a joint initiative to promote sustainable tourism and awareness of World Heritage sites and communities around the world.
The company says the partnership will benefit places of culture and natural interest by offering travel opportunities, consumer education, matching donations and local tourism economic development.
Expedia says with this “exclusive” agreement, it became the first travel industry partner to promote the Foundation’s initiative to promote and preserve World Heritage sites.
There are 812 World Heritage sites around the world, including 19 in the US. The sites have been recognized for their outstanding value as natural, cultural and historical treasures. They include Yellowstone National Park.
The UN Foundation is an innovative public charity created by Ted Turner to increase support for that world body.
