Love Your Island

Chris Belland of Historic Tours of America and TrustedTours.com operates his enterprises from Key West. I met Chris in the mid-1990s, when we served on the Florida Attractions Association Board together.

I’ve always considered Chris to be a visionary, years ahead of many of his contemporaries in thoughts and ideas.

One of Chris’ personal and professional causes is “going green”, doing what he can do to protect our natural resources. As Chris pointed out to me on a recent visit to the Keys, going green isn’t just the right thing to do, but can also be a positive decision for a businesses’ bottom line.

Chris has agreed to present “Love Your Island” at our annual conference in May. “Island” refers to Key West but is also a metaphor for the planet Earth. Of course, we are also looking at ways to make our Annual Conference more “Earth-friendly”.

I recently found that the “Love your Island” team in Key West has a web site established and I wanted to share it with you.
