Green Destinations Ambassadors
Become an Ambassador! What are the benefits?
You can become one of the Editors of the Good Travel Guide of your destination, region or country.
Active ambassadors can greatly benefit from combined publicity around Green Destinations Days, where active Ambassadors will be given the opportunity to their sustainable tourism story or their Good Travel Guide.
Ambassadors share knowledge with other ambassadors in the “Green Destinations Ambassadors” groups on Facebook and LinkedIn, and in the annual Global Green Destinations Days!
What is the Ambassador’s commitment?
In the GD Ambassadors Community, you do not pay a fee, but you make one of the following commitments
- Taking initiatives in your destination, region or country to adopt the Green Destinations Standard in its destination management, and to participate in the Green Destinations Awards & Certification Program
- Helping to select the typical natural and cultural offer in your destination, for the Good Travel Guide.
Green Destinations Stories
During Green Destinations Day, we asked some Top 100 destination ambassadors to tell us a short story about their destination.
These stories were then made into videos, which illustrate the uniqueness of every destination. You can watch them all in this link.
This is “The Gentle Helpers Story” by Petra Stušek of Ljubljana, Slovenia
