World Wildlife Fund has expanded its travel program to include a website.

For over 15 years, WWF's Membership Travel Program has offered educational trips for members to explore some of the world's most extraordinary wildlife and wildlands. Now WWF's Travel program is stepping out into a strange new territory -- the world wide web. Ecotourism and adventure travel are among the fastest growing segments of the travel industry, and WWF is a leader in providing these high-quality educational travel experiences. The Travel With WWF site, located at https://www.wwfus.org/travel/ takes WWF's leadership in this area onto the web.

The new Travel With WWF website features a detailed trip schedule listing departure dates, destinations and prices for all upcoming WWF tours. A chronological schedule is available, as well as a feature that allows users to search for destinations by geographic region. The site also features a "spotlight trip" section that includes more information and pictures from destinations as diverse as Mongolia, the Galapagos, and Yellowstone. In addition to describing the variety of wildlife that can be seen, the spotlight area explains why the destination is of special conservation importance to WWF.

Attractively designed with many pictures from WWF trips, the site also includes quotations from past WWF travelers, which pop into every page as it loads. On Travel With WWF, users learn more about how WWF can take them to some of the best places in the world to see wildlife including whales, gorillas, tigers, elephants, rhinos, birds, and a myriad other dazzling species in comfort and safety.
