My new gig with responsible travel nonprofit Ethical Traveler
Today is World Responsible Tourism Day, so how appropriate that it’s also my first day as News Editor for Ethical Traveler, a Berkeley, California-based nonprofit organization that seeks to make travel a force for positive change.
Ethical Traveler is the first grass-roots alliance uniting adventurers, tourists, travel agencies, and outfitters — everyone who loves to travel, and sees travel as a positive force in the world. We feel that all travelers are, in effect, freelance ambassadors. We also believe that we have the ability to join our voices, and to use our economic power to strengthen human rights and protect the environment.
I’ll be taking charge of the news team, which delivers original stories about responsible travel developments and issues, as well as links to related content from other trusted providers.

World Responsible Tourism Day is an initiative of World Travel Market, with support from the United Nations World Tourism Organization and leading travel industry associations. It was first celebrated in 2007.
