San Francisco, CA (PRWeb) April 10, 2007 -- As the annual commemoration of Earth Day approaches on April 22, Viator.com, the leading online resource for researching and booking activities in 75 countries worldwide, is helping travelers minimize their climate footprint. Viator’s diverse selection of eco-friendly activities in destinations around the world and new suggested guidelines for sustainable living and travel will help travelers truly experience their destination while taking steps to protect the environment.

As part of its Earth Day commemoration, Viator is also giving away 100,000 miles of carbon offsets from Carbonfund.org and Viator Gift Certificates as part of a Writing Contest (http://travelblog.viator.com/earth-day-writing-contest/) to encourage traveler awareness and participation.

Last week, Viator announced a partnership with Carbonfund.org and its intent to become 100% carbon neutral, starting with offsetting the company’s corporate travel, and helping to educate travelers about minimizing their own climate footprint.
