Costa Rica selected as “Eco-Tourism Destination” for its stand on Carbon Neutral Gas Emissions

The International EcoTourism Society, one of the most revered ecotourism organizations in the world; last month named Costa Rica an “EcoTourism Destination” as a result of the country’s program to mitigate carbon gas emissions into the atmosphere.

Each month TIES selects a destination to be promoted worldwide for its contribution to nature. Last February, Costa Rica was selected due to its “Clean Travel” program; a tool that will allow visitors to donate funds to offset their carbon gas emissions on flights to the Central American nation.

“Clean Travel” is a Costa Rican Government initiative to enable visitors to the country to contribute to the preservation of forests, watersheds and biodiversity by offsetting those carbon gas emissions with environmental services.
