San Diego International Airport And Paradise Point Resort Offset Flight Emissions With Launch Of Sustainable Travel Program

SAN DIEGO - Oct. 2, 2015 - PRLog -- Paradise Point, A Destination Hotel on San Diego’s Mission Bay, has partnered with San Diego International Airport on a new sustainable travel program. The Good Traveler program, piloted by San Diego International Airport, seeks to offset environmental impacts of travel by encouraging guests to purchase carbon offsets in the form of merchandise or add-ons to hotel reservations. For just $1, a traveler can effectively offset 500 miles of air travel or 200 miles of driving. 100 percent of program funds will go directly towards conservation projects counteracting the environmental impacts of greenhouse gas emissions.

Paradise Point is the first hotel to participate in The Good Traveler program, encouraging and inspiring sustainable travel by resort guests. Seeking to make conservation approachable and inclusive for all travelers, The Good Traveler provides participants with a collectible sticker that can be proudly displayed. Paradise Point offers guests the option to participate by purchasing carbon offsets when booking a room reservation online. Purchases are available in one-dollar increments to allow guests to offset the amount of carbon emissions generated by their individual mode of transportation and distance traveled.

Current projects benefiting from The Good Traveler proceeds include a forest restoration project in California, a wind farm project in Idaho and a water restoration project in the Colorado Delta.

Paradise Point is an eco-friendly, green hotel nestled on a lush 44-acre private island in San Diego’s Mission Bay. All of Paradise Point’s efforts are part of a larger nation-wide eco initiative by Destination Hotels called Destination Earth.
