Boulder, CO (March 29, 2005) - Sustainable Travel International (STI) today announced the release of its new website at SustainableTravel.com, which features an updated look-and-feel, improved navigation, and a greater focus on programs that help promote responsible travel and support sustainable tourism development.

STI offers a myriad of programs designed to help travelers and travel providers protect the environments and cultures they visit. The new website launched today has many multi-faceted and innovative features. Consumers can explore a world of sustainable and responsible travel opportunities, from eco-lodges in Asia to community-based tourism in Africa. The MyClimate™ carbon offset program allows consumers and travel providers to neutralize the global warming impact of their air travel. Consumers can also purchase handcrafted products directly from local villagers and support community development and environmental conservation through a variety of travel philanthropy programs. The new website also features information on sustainable tourism educational training courses, the Sustainable Tourism Eco-certification Program™, and much more.

STI's website currently attracts up to 20,000 unique visitors per month. "We've seen a steady increase in traffic to our website since it was first launched in 2002," said STI President Brian T. Mullis. "With the launch of our new web site, we hope to expand our reach and continue to build awareness, appreciation and respect for local people and our environment," Mullis concludes.

Those interested in providing STI with suggestions of additional information that they would like to see on the website are instructed to email STI at info@sustainabletravel.com.
