MURRIETA, Calif., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Green Globe International, Inc. (Pink Sheets: GGII), the worldwide owner of the Green Globe brand, today announced that Green Globe Certification, the premier worldwide sustainability certification for tourism businesses, has signed a major editorial and promotion agreement with ISLANDS Magazine, a Bonnier Corporation publication.

The agreement will directly benefit Green Globe Certified properties and tourism attractions located in island destinations around the world. ISLANDS has adopted Green Globe as its exclusive sustainability partner and will focus on the sustainability achievements of Green Globe clients, providing travelers with insight into green travel options. In addition, Green Globe will provide regular editorial contributions inviting ISLANDS readers to consider how to go green at home as well as when they travel.

Guido Bauer, CEO of Green Globe Certification, stated, "In addition to these editorial collaborations, we will be working together to expand the marketing opportunities for Green Globe clients via cooperative advertising and joint promotional activities at travel shows."

ISLANDS magazine and its website, Islands.com, are authoritative resources for over half a million upscale travelers each issue. Ken Leandro, publisher, said, "ISLANDS has a long and proud history of showcasing sustainable travel. From our leadership in starting the Caribbean Sustainable Tourism Awards back in 1991 to our more recent 'Blue List' special editions, we've tried to give credit where credit is due. We are very pleased now to partner with Green Globe and to redouble our efforts to steer travelers to resorts that are meeting certification standards."

The Green Globe brand and program, which traces its roots back to the United Nations Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992, where 182 Heads of State endorsed the Agenda 21 principles of Sustainable Development, has primarily been used in the travel and tourism industry but is now being expanded to include a growing number of environmentally responsible businesses in a variety of market sectors. The Green Globe brand is an ideal symbol for the world's increasing awareness of environmental responsibility and response to global climate change.
