NatureAir Joins World Heritage Alliance for Sustainable Tourism by Alexi Huntley-16826
New York (Nov. 28, 2007) NatureAir announced today that it has joined the World Heritage Alliance for Sustainable Tourism (WHA) as a partner. The WHA is an industry-leading initiative; it was founded by Expedia, Inc. and the United Nations Foundation, to support UNESCO's goal of promoting and protecting the 851 World Heritage sites around the world.
NatureAir became carbon neutral three years ago and joining the WHA is very important to NatureAir, because as an airline - we are the link between destinations of origin and those of WHA sites and parks. The fact that the aerial link is also sustainable and supporting the destination creates a true sustainable package," says NatureAir Founder and CEO, Alex Khajavi.
NatureAir voluntarily compensates 100% of its carbon emissions, through its preservation of tropical forests. In 2006 NatureAir was able to offset 6,320 tons of carbon output, and to date more than 65 acres of forests have been preserved. The land is protected because of the funds NatureAir commits to local landowners. In addition, NatureAir keeps their carbon output down by improvements made in their operations, scheduling and flight plans.
We're pleased to have NatureAir joining the partnership," said Erika Harms, executive director of the World Heritage Alliance. Together we have the power to reach millions of people around the world and help both preserve and protect some of the world's most beautiful and significant sites."
By the end of 2007, there will be 52 members and partners of the World Heritage Alliance for Sustainable Tourism up from 17 in 2006 including, Expedia Inc. and the UN Foundation. These members and partners will be working in 7 countries to aid in the conservation of at least 20 UNESCO World Heritage sites.
All WHA members were recognized this week at a series of events in New York, including a dinner and symposium discussing important issues related to World Heritage and sustainable tourism.
The WHA offers two levels of partnership, each being committed to advancing the WHA mission: WHA members and WHA associate partners. WHA members consist of travel industry companies, such as hotels, tour operators, travel agents, airlines and cruises, among others. WHA associate partners are NGOs, civil society groups, government bodies, industry associations and other organizations that may not exclusively be devoted to tourism.
Each WHA member is committed to:
Implementing the World Heritage Alliance principles, a set of guidelines developed in consultation between the UN Foundation, Expedia, UNESCO World Heritage Centre and National Geographic that foster greater attention to social, cultural and environmental sustainability within their business.
Participating in staff training programs by enrolling staff in occasional in-person or online training courses organized by the WHA that educate about the key issues related to World Heritage and sustainable tourism.
Educating the traveling public about World Heritage by providing informational materials, exclusive packages to World Heritage destinations, volunteer opportunities with local communities, and the ability for customers to purchase goods and services that are rooted in local cultures and environments.
Supporting community development around World Heritage sites by working with local communities to build and enhance sustainable tourism opportunities for travelers and to provide markets for locally produced sustainable goods and services.
Engaging employees to support the local community through WHA volunteer programs and other opportunities that allow employees to work side-by-side with community-based initiatives.
Supporting the United Nations in its efforts to encourage sustainable tourism and the protection of World Heritage sites through the UNESCO World Heritage Convention.
