About GreenTraveller

GreenTraveller is managed by me, Richard Hammond (not the bloke on Top Gear). I'm the Guardian's eco travel correspondent and the editor of a worldwide guide to Green Places to Stay (Alastair Sawday Publishing). I'm currently researching and writing the Rough Guide to Green Holidays (worldwide). I've also written articles on green travel for BBC Wildlife, BBC Countryfile, Community Care, The Ecologist, Eve Magazine, Geographical, Green Futures, Guardian Unlimited, ivillage.co.uk, Livewire, Marie Claire, New Consumer, The Observer, Resurgence, Sunday Times Travel magazine, Timesonline and Wanderlust.

I've also written a few weighty analyst reports for Mintel, including 'Redefining Ecotourism', 'Sustainable Tourism in the Travel Industry' and 'Tourism and Poverty Alleviation', I wrote the tourism chapter in the Rough Guide to a Better World and the Environment chapter in Lonely Planet Italy. I help judge the Times 'Green Spaces' Awards, the Association of Independent Tour Operator's AITO Responsible Tourism Award and the Guardian and Observer's Ethical Travel Award, and I was the Contributing Editor to the Travel Channel's six part TV series How to Holiday Greener.

I was also the editor of the following books:
National Parks and Other Wild Places of Malaysia with WWF Malaysia (New Holland Publishers, 1998)
National Parks and Other Wild Places of Canada (New Holland Publishers, 1999)
