PALAU PLEDGE

Written with the help of Palau’s children, every visitor must pledge to heal and secure the natural environment for future generations.  

To protect its stunning yet fragile, vulnerable environment from tourists’ carelessness and neglect, the Pacific island-country of Palau had to do something innovative and bold.

So it changed its entry visa processes, claimed to be a world first, the "Palau Pledge" is stamped onto visitors' passports and must be signed upon arrival in the country before they can enter: a public - and very personal - promise to protect Palau for future generations.
