Sodha Travel is proud to be a member of The International Ecotourism Society (TIES). TIES unites conservation and communities through sustainable travel, and their mission is to "promote responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people." We encourage you to learn more about their organization - the largest and oldest ecotourism organization in the world. We also invite you to discover ways to incorporate sustainability and conservation in your own travel itinerary.

In 2010, the Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism Conference (ESTC) will be held in our own city of Portland, Oregon. We look forward to attending the conference and learning more about "greening" the tourism industry.
