The Rainforest Alliance’s sustainable tourism program is working with scores of governmental and non-governmental organizations. We helped create the Sustainable Tourism Network of the Americas, which currently includes 60 member organizations from 23 countries in the region.
As Secretary of the Network, the Rainforest Alliance has the responsibility of making sure that tourism businesses, local communities and tourists themselves understand how they can benefit from and contribute to sustainable tourism in the countries that safeguard a wealth of biodiversity and endangered ecosystems.
See a list of the certification programs that are members of the network.
Want to go on a fun and responsible vacation but leave the details to someone else? The Rainforest Alliance has signed cooperative agreements with over 15 tour operators in four different countries. These companies agree to promote tourism certification programs and businesses, to motivate other suppliers to join in the best management practices program and to educate travelers about ways to conserve biodiversity and reduce tourism’s negative impact through their travel choices.
