IPPG News: 07/02/2004

New IPPG website goes online

The redesign was carried out by Binary Design GmbH in Germany, which were contacted by our German representative, Monika Schiefer.

We hope that you find the new site easy to use and would very much appreciate your feedback!

Your support and involvement is invaluable. Please consider joining IPPG or contributing in kind.

Looking into the crystal ball, it would seem that the way of the future for tourism operators is combining adventure holidays with practical and well thought out aid to the communities visited.
It is IPPG's wish to promote an ethical and sustainable trekking industry to benefit all concerned. Please help to achieve this end by encouraging people to go trekking and to care for their porters.
