TheTravelPlanner.co.uk was first
started in 2003 by father and son team Chris and Jaime Askew.
The site started out as our own list of useful travel bookmarks,
but gradually grew into something that we wanted to share with
others. We are avid travellers (between us we have visited over
50 countries), but can only dream of getting to some of the beautiful
places listed on this site.
The inspiration for the site
can be particularly attributed to George Monbiot -listening to
him speak about the massive environmental impact of air travel
the day before travelling from Britain to Ecuador was a sobering
experience.
Our aim is to promote organisations
offering sustainable and responsible travel. We are keen to include
web sites related to eco tourism and ethical travel -including
hotels, hostels, villas and holiday eco-homes.
Do help us to continue to develop
our library of sustainable travel information.. To suggest a
site, please e-mail us at mail@thetravelplanner.co.uk with a brief description and the URL.
Some readers comments:
"We were looking over your
site last night and were impressed by your attention to sustainability
and the environment."
"We think your website
is tremendous and will prove to be a great asset"

boring small print........
