Winter Park, Fla. — Bonnier Corp.'s Islands magazine, the global authority on island travel, announced today its partnership with Green Globe Certification, the premier worldwide sustainability certification for tourism businesses. Green Globe's experts will collaborate with Islands editors to define and maintain the sustainability mission in the magazine and on Islands.com.

"It's a perfect partnership," said Islands Editor Eddy Patricelli. "Islands has been promoting sustainable travel since 1991. Joining with Green Globe emboldens this commitment, and allows us to guide readers to resorts that ensure an ongoing enjoyment of islands we love."

Beginning in the November issue, on sale Oct. 6, the magazine will feature an Islands/Green Globe Travel Tip, showcasing an island business that is both Green Globe recognized and Islands approved.

The Green Globe brand and program trace their roots back to the United Nations Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992, where 182 heads of state endorsed the Agenda 21 principles for sustainable development. Green Globe's rigorous standards for sustainability issues such as energy efficiency, water management and land use blend perfectly with Islands' commitment to authentic island travel.

Published eight times per year by Bonnier Corp., Islands transports its readers to exotic island locales through its award-winning writing and photography, delivering the island dream.
