Sustainable Travel

Responsible tourism with a smaller environmental footprint and a focus on sustainability.
Tourism is arguably the world's largest industry. It generates about 10% of total world GDP and employs over 10% of the global workforce, and it's on the verge of tremendous growth. In 2005, there were 808 million international tourism arrivals, a figure that the World Tourism Organization expects to reach one billion by 2010.
