With the price of gas over $4/gallon, summer trips are increasing in cost by the day. How are you planning your summer travel?

From hotels greening their rooms to carbon neutral airlines launching in Central America, the wave of eco-travel and sustainability are the new “travel bug” for planes, trains, automobiles and more!

How can you plan a fantastic summer vacation in a sustainable way? Which companies are attracting the 65% of Americans looking to buy from companies investing in social good (determined by respondents as how firms treat their employees and the environment) and which are going to reap the benefits in the travel market?

Join HIP Investor’s rapidly growing Investor Roundtable Series and learn about some of the HIPpest companies in the travel industry, from Zipcar’s innovative model that rental car companies are beginning to replicate, to Nature Air, the "world’s first 'carbon-neutral' airline.”

Invited speakers from companies ranging from publicly traded hotel chains launching green sites to private firms that offer exciting eco-travel options will share their expertise and approach to the future of travel. Through speakers and discussion, the Roundtable will address how companies simultaneously solve customer needs, benefit the environment, and make money for investors.
