Sustainability - The Northwest Way of Life

For Pacific Northwest Vacations, sustainability is not just a marketing catch phrase; it is engrained in the Northwest way of life. We place a high level of dedication in assuring that we are ourselves in addition to our partners in travel are doing their part when it comes to preserving the environment, and local culture of the Pacific Northwest. We love the all aspects of the Northwest lifestyle; from the farm to fork cuisine, organic beer, or the pristine alpine lakes, and our dedication to alternate forms of transportation. We try to embrace as much of the Northwest ethic that we can in our business model and the products and services we offer to the consumer.

Here are some things we do to protect the amazing place that we call home:

• We are largely a paper free organization
• Our supply chain utilizes extensive use of locally sourced hotel suppliers
• If hotels that we work with do not formally offer green lodging credentials with an accredited program, they offer an in house program that is independently vetted by us
• Extensive use of locally sourced ground operators, that are committed to low impact forms of tourism
• Availability to book hybrid car rentals between destinations
• Multimodal transportation options, so the vacationer doesn't have to always rely on car rentals and air transportation.
• Public transit hotel transfer options in most cities
