Cody Wyoming Sustainable / Environmental Travel & Eco Friendly Resources

Ecotrouism efforts preserve the elemnts of the location and the local environemnt but also the visitor as well. Environmentally responsible travel can be anything from offsetting your traveled mileage to buying local. We are proud to support anyone working with nature rather than against it.

Many companies can be on either side of the fence when it comes to deciding if they are an ecotourism based business versus having focus on sustainable tourism. But when it comes down to it, both make the world of difference no matter what choice is made.

Sustainable Tourism, in its entirety, is focused on sustaining and supporting the natural environment and culture through development and education to generate income and employment for the local community.

Ecotourism is a form of sustainable travel focusing more on specific areas where natural beauty and cultural heritage tend to be the main attraction. Businesses with programs focused on minimization of their impact on the natural environment can consider themselves part of the ecotourism industry.

It takes a village to move mountains, and in this town the village is taking strides together to preserve our natural heritage and leave as minimal an impact as possible. The following organizations stand out as leaders of an Ecotourism movement.
