Environmental Action
Tourism is the largest industry on earth, accounting for more than $476 billion in revenue and tens-of-millions of employees. Obviously, such a broad-reaching business can dramatically impact the environment – in both positive and negative ways.
As the nation’s largest national and state park management company, we know that we play an integral part in the tourism industry and how it impacts the natural environment – more than 17 million people visit the national and state parks where Xanterra operates.
Since our planet’s as well as our very own well-being depend upon the continued health of natural systems, we believe that in the long term it is impossible for businesses to be economically sustainable without being ecologically stable.
That is why we are a company based upon values that reflect an environmental ethic and social conscience – for the long term. We have taken the lead in this calling and have implemented comprehensive and broad-based environmental initiatives throughout all of our operations.
Welcome to our environmental website where we share with you our environmental performance - the actions we’re taking to protect the earth’s natural resources, including our successes as well as failures, and where we are going from here.
These are not mere words on a screen; these are real actions, making a tangible difference, and carried out across the country in our nation’s most treasured lands - our national and state parks.
