MURRIETA, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec. 9, 2008--Green Globe International, Inc. (OTC BB: GGLB), the worldwide owner of the Green Globe brand, the premier international green brand for travel and tourism, today announced that it has reached a binding definitive agreement with Green Hotel Certification for a program to deliver a dual certification to tourism properties, including hotels and resort destinations.

With the definitive agreement in place, Green Hotel Certification will initiate sales and marketing efforts in North, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Europe, the first regions targeted for the co-branding program.
Under terms of the definitive agreement, Green Globe International has licensed to Green Certifications the use of its brand and logo mark in conjunction with Green Hotel Certification of tourism properties as sustainable businesses.

In exchange for the use of the Green Globe brand, Green Certifications, which owns Green Hotel Certification, will pay a licensing fee to Green Globe International for use of the brand equal to a percentage of gross revenues received by Green Certifications from its clients.

“We are pleased to have reached this definitive agreement with Green Certifications so that the marketing of our co-branded Green Globe/Green Hotel Certification program can begin immediately,” stated Bradley Cox, chief operating officer of Green Globe International. “We have worked closely with Green Hotel Certification to assemble the materials necessary to effectively sell the dual certification to hotel and resort customers in the targeted markets. We believe that Green Hotel Certification brings to this co-branding effort a highly effective sales and service team, which will articulate to the marketplace the power of the combined brands.”

“A strong brand supported by an efficient sales and service team will make all the difference in the world. The Green Globe / Green Hotel Certification product will deliver both operational savings as well as immediate recognition in the market place,” commented Guido Bauer, President of Green Certifications, Inc.

The Green Globe brand and program, which traces its roots back to the United Nations Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992, where 182 Heads of State endorsed the Agenda 21 principles of Sustainable Development, has primarily been used in the travel and tourism industry but is now being expanded to include a growing number of environmentally responsible businesses in a variety of market sectors. The Green Globe brand is an ideal symbol for the world's increasing awareness of environmental responsibility and response to global climate change.

Green Globe International, an affiliate member of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), has endorsed the efforts of the United Nations Foundation, Rainforest Alliance, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the UNWTO in launching the Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria (GSTC).
