Green Travel

Tourism is one of the world's largest industries and it's on the verge of tremendous growth.  It generates about 10% of total world GDP and employs over 10% of the global workforce, . Mexico has become a globally significant travel destination largely as a result of its geographic and biological diversity including desert landscapes, snow-capped volcanoes, ancient ruins, colonial towns, resorts, beaches and world class diversity of flora and fauna. However, travel especially by air is one of the fastest growing sources of CO2 emissions. Sierra Gorda offsets provide travelers the opportunity to offset the impact of their trips on global warming, contribute to the protection of Mexico's world class biological diversity and help to alleviate poverty linked to environmental degradation.
