Sustainable Travel International is a company dedicated to promoting sustainable tourism and environmentally responsible travel. The Leading Hotels of the World, Ltd. is a company dedicated to finding the right luxury hotels and resorts for the most elite group of leisure travel, family vacation, and luxury business travel seekers. The Leading Hotels of the World - with its emphasis on luxury day spas and the best golf resorts - may not seem to have much in common with the sustainable travel and eco-tourism promoted by Sustainable Travel International. However, even the most elite leisure travel companies are growing aware of the negative impact hotels and the travel industry has been having on the environment, and some are stepping up to make a positive change.

The Leading Hotels of the World has partnered with Sustainable Travel International. STI offers a carbon offset program, and Leading Hotels of the World is the first international luxury hotel brand to take part in this program. Its new Leading Green Initiative helps its hotels and resorts strive towards becoming carbon neutral; a donation of 50 cents is made, by LHW, to Sustainable Travel International's carbon offset program. Travel Green, launched in 2007 by STI, calculates energy consumption to be around 50 cents per room, per Leading Hotels of the World's individual luxury resort sites. By donating that 50 cents per room (per night), Leading Hotels helps leisure travel become that much more carbon neutral. The money is invested in supporting clean, renewable energy resources. This 50 cent per guest investment goes directly towards solar and wind power. The overall quantity of greenhouse gases is reduced, once more energy efficient power sources are utilized.
