Travel Service

Why It's Good:

You can book a trip on expedia.com to see some of the 830 special places that have been deemed World Heritage sites (places having value for all mankind) through a convention coordinated by the UN and UNESCO. These include many national parks in the US and Canada like Yellowstone, Banff, and the Everglades; cultural attractions such as Tikal, Machu Picchu, and Versailles; important biosphere preserves like Africa's Serengeti and Australia's Great Barrier Reef; and places of archaeological, historical, or evolutionary significance including the cave paintings of Lascaux, and the Galapagos Islands.

Why It's Green:

If you select a package through one of Expedia's websites or travel services that includes a sightseeing tour or other activity at a World Heritage site, Expedia will donate the profits from designated trips to support locally based tourism enterprises, which will help increase the economic well-being of their people through sustainable tourism.
