The Caribbean is one of the most environmentally fragile regions in the world. Most of the things we love about island life -- the beaches, crystal-clear waters, rain forests, reefs, fish -- are at high risk from global warming and pollution. Tourism contributes greatly to the stress on the Caribbean environment, and it's not a stretch to say that these islands are in danger of being loved to death.

Fortunately, the Caribbean also is home to some visionary leaders who recognize both the peril and potential for the tourism industry to be good stewards of the environment. The Caribbean Alliance for Sustainable Tourism, created in 1997 by the Caribbean Hotel Association, is tasked with promoting responsible environmental and social management of natural and heritage resources within the hotel and tourism sector. CAST also publishes an up-to-date list of the 50-plus Green Globe certified hotels in the region. read further
