NatureAir Receives Prestigious Recognition from World Travel & Tourism Council

Honored as the 2009 Tourism for Tomorrow Conservation Award Winner

San Jose, Costa Rica (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 18, 2009 - The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has named NatureAir the 2009 Tourism for Tomorrow Conservation Award winner for best demonstrating sustainable tourism practices, and commitment to the protection of its natural heritage.

The environment is precious and we are thrilled to receive his wonderful recognition by WTTC for our conservation efforts

This award is a motivator for all of us at NatureAir to continue searching for ways which add a positive value to the social and environmental challenges we face.

In 2004, NatureAir made a highly ambitious pledge to set new standards for sustainable practices in the airline industry, compensating for 100% of its greenhouse gas emissions through preservation and reforestation of tropical forests in the Osa Peninsula

And it has not only fulfilled this pledge, but has also implemented a whole host of other effective sustainable policies and activities, including community benefit outreach programmes

For the National Forestry Financing Fund (FONAFIFO), as part of the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Telecommunications (MINAET), it is of great satisfaction that our programs promote conservation and recovery of forests in a sustainable tourism context, and that they are being recognized at an international level, as in this case for the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC),

Nature Air has been a pioneer in the private sector in supporting this program and we are sincerely happy that they have been recognized accordingly for their commitment to conservation and stopping climate change.
