Costa Rica Carbon Reduction Program

COSTA RICA CHOSEN AS “ECOTOURIST DESTINATION” FOR ITS CARBON REDUCTION PROGRAM
The International Ecotourism Society (TIES), the oldest ecotourism organization in the world, selected Costa Rica as the “ecotourist destination” for the month of February, thanks to its program dedicated to reducing carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Every month, TIES selects a destination site to display to the world, and in February it chose Costa Rica for its “Clean Travel” program, a tool that allows tourists to donate money to compensate for gas emissions generated by flights to the Central American country."Clean Travel" is a Costa Rican government initiative that encourages visitors to contribute to the conservation of forests, water systems, and biodiversity by means of environmental service donations.
