TIES Unveils “EcoDestinations”

Sunday, 02 Feb, 2009 0

ecoDestinations is The International Ecotourism Society’s new approach to promoting ecotourism as an effective tool for inspiring cultural awareness and commitment to environmental responsibility.

Featuring a different destination each month, ecoDestinations is an auction with a vision, connecting travelers with inspiring ecotourism initiatives. The monthly online auction, highlighting the most stellar examples of eco-friendly vacations in each destination, offers potential visitors the opportunity to bid on the vacations of their dreams at below retail value, with the peace of mind that their travel choice is making a positive impact for the planet.

Implementing TIES’ commitment to supporting visionary grass-roots efforts and empowering communities through ecotourism, each month TIES will select one organization from the featured destination to receive 5% of the ecoDestinations revenue.

TIES believes that all destinations have innovative and inspiring ecotourism stories to share with the world. For businesses and organizations committed to raising the standards of what it means to ‘be the change’, ecoDestinations provides a forum to share stories and spend a month in the global spotlight.

ecoDestinations supports TIES goals of:
· Inspiring everyone to make the travel choice that makes a difference every time.
· Uniting communities, conservation, and extraordinary travel experiences.
· Promoting ecotourism as a force to positively transform the way the world travels.

New ecoDestinations will be revealed monthly. The first featured destination will be a secret until Sunday, February 1st (hint: it’s renowned for warm-hearted hospitality, great coffee, and incredible biodiversity). It will be announced through www.ecotourism.org and emails to supporters.
