How, What, Why?

The Who, What, When, and Why

What is the Sustainable Travel & Transportation Network?

STTN is the first-of-its-kind network for Travel, Tourism, & Transportation buyers, facilitators, suppliers, owners, executive staff, senior managers, and industry entrepreneurs interested in innovation and developing more sustainable operations and services.

STTN is a one-stop-shop for all things Sustainable within the travel & tourism sectors.

Our primary goal, and top priority, is to be a community-based marketplace where our users find travel partners committed to sustainable operations and services. To accomplish this, STTN provides the information, tools, certifications, and professional networking to help our members understand what sustainability is, why you should be interested, how to get started, and what a sustainable organization looks like.

STTN makes it easy to find other sustainable businesses in the leisure, business, and luxury travel sectors. So whether you are interested in strengthening your sustainable contacts, furthering your career in sustainable travel, or simply love what we stand for, STTN is your sustainable certification and networking partner.

Why should I join STTN?

STTN is a new kind of company that addresses and understands “sustainable travel” issues, provides online and in-person opportunities to share insights and successes with colleagues and like-minded professionals and equips its members with the tools, training, resources, and guidance.

STTN membership allows you to:

1. Gain Insights into Sustainability in the Travel Industry: You’ll access our “Intelligence Center,” where STTN’s courses, seminars, workshops, and online networking events will keep you updated on the latest innovations, research, and trends. Staying informed will help you in the long run and put you one step ahead of the competition!

2. Take charge of your career: Take advantage of career resources.  STTN is a great way to find targeted travel jobs with companies committed to sustainable operations.

3. Enhance your professional network: We all know that networking is vital for thought leaders and connections with experts and colleagues from the many travel sectors are critical. As an STTN member, you will have countless opportunities to connect on a regional and global level.  In addition, STTN provides you with security and trust – our members are serious about sustainability. From this, you can support and help one another reach your professional goals.

4. Become an Industry Leader:  STTN is the only Sustainable Travel network that exists today.  We allow you to develop your skills as a market Maverick and stand out.

5. Become a mentor: Giving back can be the greatest reward and benefit. Participating in forums, chat groups, or discussion boards sponsored by STTN is a great way to grow your brand. In addition, online access to like-minded travel and sustainability professionals allows you to use your peers as sounding boards and often make some great friends with the same interests as you. 

6. Make new friends: STTN encourages relationships. This select group is your opportunity to escape the norm and meet new people across all sectors of the travel industry, giving you new perspectives about travel, the environment, and having fun.

8. Stay Inspired and Motivated: Learn to love what you do by loving the environment and our society! The travel industry is one of the best gigs in the world. We are a group excited every day about what we do and the people we work with and support. They say the secret sauce is in the journey and not the destination. So let’s make an impact, be proactive, and lead by example. And above all else, we’ll help you to “enjoy the ride.”

Who should join STTN?

The environment and our society should be a priority for any company that wants to succeed in today’s marketplace. In addition, sustainability efforts provide financial benefits and improve reputation and public image, among other things – all of which can help set your business apart from competitors who may not share these values with you! 

We welcome professionals interested in making a more significant impact on the “triple bottom line” of sustainability in the travel, tourism, & Transportation sectors. Our membership is open to virtually anyone with an eye on making the world and society safer for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren.

Few jobs require or even provide the chance to step back and think about the big picture and the impact that “Travel” has on our everyday existence. So, irrespective of your job function or the sector of the industry you work in, you will find that STTN has much of the information, guidance, and tools that will be directly relevant and worth exploring on your journey.

Membership is open to:

  • Operational executives and managers in travel-related service companies want to understand more about sustainability’s role in their business but are unsure how to start. Lacking the time or resources needed to research the many sources and types of information (much of which doesn’t apply to “Travel” services), we provide easy-to-digest information, toolkits, third-party certifications, and expertise. Our goal is to help our members start including sustainability as a part of their company’s core values.
  • Entrepreneurs and small business owners interested in expanding a sustainable services division or even a start-up company that needs the human and technical expertise to start the process. Whether you are interested in incorporating proven sustainability elements as part of your core offering or as part of your business operations, STTN and our partners help members understand and explore the many new opportunities that a commitment to sustainability presents. 
  • Company owners and CEOs understand that sustainability has become the new business reality, and business success and sustainability are inextricably intertwined. As a result, innovative leadership is required more than ever. Therefore, STTN optimizes “professional connections,” helping to deliver expertise through our network of travel, transportation, tourism, and sustainability professionals.
  • Corporate Travel Managers, Travel Agencies, and TMC Staff are often overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information on programs and policies. While these buyers/facilitators still want to incorporate sustainability into their programs, they may have little idea of what to do and where to start. STTN’s partners and members help each other tap into effective policies and practices even when working with limited budgets and time.
  • Chief Sustainability Officers, staff members, analysts, and consultants often spend much of their time as “generalists.” However, “Travel, transportation, and Tourism” represent many different types of companies and services, which presents many challenges to buyers. STTN will provide the focus and intimate industry knowledge to help ensure accuracy and transparency in ESG reporting and facilitate the establishment of sustainable “Travel” value chains.
  • Individuals and employees who are without the opportunity to contribute to the “triple bottom line” in their current positions know that the possibilities offered by greater efficiencies and smaller budgets often result from innovation. STTN provides the tools, training, and guidance to identify policies and procedures that can be integrated into existing positions or provide for new career paths.
  • Whether or not you have the word “sustainability” in your job description, it is increasingly important that everyone from the C-Suite to the maintenance staff understand what sustainability means, both as a concept and as a set of decisions and actions impacting your organization.
