proud history of showcasing sustainable travel. From our leadership
in starting the Caribbean Sustainable Tourism Awards back in 1991

give credit where credit is due. We are very pleased now to partner
with Green Globe and to redouble our efforts to steer travelers to
resorts that are meeting certification standards." The Green Globe
