Green Globe International Inc. Announces Recognition of Chattanooga Green
Lodgings Program

MURRIETA, Calif., Sept. 23, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Globe International,
Inc. (Pink Sheets:GGII), the worldwide owner of the Green Globe brand, today
announced that it has recognized the Greater Chattanooga Hospitality
Association's Chattanooga Green Lodgings Program, the leading certification
program for tourism accommodation in the state of Tennessee.

"The Chattanooga Green Program is the first U.S. based program to be fully
recognized by Green Globe," said Guido Bauer, CEO of Green Globe Certification.
"All hotels certified under the Chattanooga Green Program will automatically
receive Green Globe Certified status."

GCHA member Tom Cupo first proposed the green lodging program in the fall of
2008, and continued to develop the program until its recent roll-out. "Our Green
Lodging Program encourages hotels, bed and breakfasts, other lodging facilities
and restaurants to be aware of their impact on the environment and to take
steps to reduce their carbon footprint while enhancing the overall
sustainability of their operations," said Mr. Cupo.

"Our goal," said GCHA's President, Andrea Anderson, "was to provide a program to
enable participants to conserve and protect our greatest natural resources for
our residents and visitors. In addition, this program will attract
environmentally-responsible partners, and contribute to operating our hotels
more efficiently and cost effectively."

Certification to the Chattanooga Green/Green Globe program requires audited
performance in five Core areas of energy, water and resource conservation, plus
a written plan for further improvement. Hotels may also note sustainable
practices that go beyond the Core requirements.

"Green Lodging compliance offers clear advantages to the Chattanooga community,"
said Jim Frierson, vice chair of the Chattanooga Green Team. "The environmental
impacts of many of these actions are measurable, with individual results
aggregating to a larger number and counting towards our overall goal of
sustained carbon reduction. That's the kind of voluntary private sector
leadership we need to make significant strides."

Skye Con Environmental provides independent third party auditing of facilities
applying for certification. "Green Globe International is recognized world-wide
as the premier certifying organization for hotels, restaurants, and tourist
attractions," said Dobbin Callahan, president of Skye Con. "Recognition of the
Chattanooga program provides absolute credibility for the Chattanooga program."

"I am proud of Tom Cupo and the Chattanooga Hospitality Association for taking
this bold initiative, and find it immensely satisfying that their efforts are
being recognized by Green Globe," said William Mish, incoming president of the
Tennessee Hospitality Association. "It is a great demonstration of what can be
accomplished by working together for the benefit of all members, and the
environment."

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.
