About Us

ABOUT US

At DiscoverTheIslands.com we see an island as a metaphor for planet earth. Our concept of travel and tourism is unique among travel organizations. It is to enlighten consumers to the possibilities of a better world- perhaps Utopia, where society's welfare ranks higher than corporate profits. We enable travelers to recognize and discover that islands are as gems of the seas and so they should be treated as precious and rare resources. We seek to make travelers aware of the special vulnerability of the plants, animals, and indigenous cultures of islands. Our Mission Statement is unique among travel websites. We support the efforts of the organizations listed at the bottom of this page- Travel Resources. The end result, we hope, is for a more educated consumer who is environmentally responsible and recognizes the consequences of their travel choices and decisions. Thus, consumers are encouraged to, "Make your next vacation an island destination; appreciate its uniqueness, help protect it for future generations, and make us your Travel Provider if you support our philosophy."
