Richard Hammond Founder of Greentraveller
Greentraveller’s entire Green Travel List was published in the UK Guardian newspaper recently. It is organised by greentraveller.co.uk in association with The Guardian newspaper, and supported by Forum for the Future. The Chair of Judges is Dr Graham Miller, Director of International Studies at the University of Surrey.
Said Richard Hammond, editor ““The aim of the Green Travel List is to help travellers find a greener holiday. It does not single out individual winners; instead the idea is to provide a comprehensive list of a wide range of travel and tourism companies who have convinced us that sustainability is at the heart of their business."
