The concept of Sustainable Travel, or Sustainable Tourism, are relatively new in Taiwan, but they echo with the core values of our traditional culture. Over the past few decades, Taiwan has been blessed with a so-called “Economic Miracle” in terms of our economic growth. However, the pursuit of growth in GDP and the blind embrace of capitalism, has also taken its toll on the natural and social environment of Taiwan. Over the past decade or so, more and more people have awakened and have taken action to re-build sustainable communities and advocate for the importance of environmental protection and preservation of natural resources. The concept of eco-travel has been widely known and accepted with the progress of this “green movement”.
In 2008, a group of young Taiwanese believed there must be a way to develop economic growth through sustainable travel/tourism, in which the local community and natural environment is not only preserved, but even thrives. Our efforts to promote awareness over the past few years eventually gave birth to Sustainable Travel International Taiwan (STI Taiwan), with the full-support from Sustainable Travel International (STI), a non-profit organization based in Portland Oregon.
Our main goal is to promote awareness of Sustainable Taiwan. We aim to reach that goal in two ways:
First, we aim to promote the sustainable program to local businesses in the tourism industry among the Chinese community.
