What is Expedia doing?
Expedia, Inc.'s Web sites, travel services, and partners provide travelers with opportunities to visit many World Heritage sites, and our profits from designated World Heritage trips will be used to support locally based tourism enterprises. To qualify for this designation, the package you select must include a sightseeing tour or other activity at a World Heritage site.
Working with UNESCO World Heritage Center's Sustainable Tourism program and other United Nations-sponsored projects, we are lending our employees' travel-industry expertise to help local entrepreneurs in World Heritage communities increase the economic well-being of their people through sustainable tourism.
Donations from Expedia and the profits from our World Heritage trips will help fund these enterprises. We also encourage our travel supplier partners to join us in this knowledge transfer-helping them build their businesses while they help sustain the local economies on which hospitality depends.
Information and educational materials about World Heritage are available on the Friends of World Heritage web site: www.friendsofworldheritage.org.
