The International Ecotourism Society

The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) is a global organization dedicated to promoting responsible travel that conserves nature and benefits local communities. It encourages travelers and businesses to support environmentally sustainable practices, protect natural habitats, and respect local cultures. TIES works to define standards for ecotourism, share best practices, and raise awareness about the importance of sustainable tourism. By doing so, it aims to create positive impacts on both the environment and the people living in destinations, ensuring that tourism helps rather than harms the places and communities involved.
