As Earth Day 2021 draws closer, sustainable and eco-conscious initiatives have turned into the need of the hour. In the wake of the pandemic, people want to travel, but they also want to do so responsibly. These travelers expect sustainability and ethical business practices from the companies they engage with. Beyond Green, a luxury hotel brand uniting eco-resorts with a commitment to sustainability, is celebrating Earth Day by offering sustainable adventure hotel packages to environmentally-conscious travelers. In this article, we’ll delve into what Beyond Green is doing and why eco-conscious tourism is more important than ever.
Beyond Green, a global portfolio of planet Earth’s most sustainable hotels, has launched a series of Sustainable Adventures to celebrate Earth Day on April 22. The aim is to provide travelers with a more purposeful way to explore the world while making a positive impact on the environment, local communities and cultures. Social sustainability is at the heart of Beyond Green’s operations, focusing on fair wages, gender equality and protection of indigenous, local cultures.
Beyond Green offers intuitive ways for travelers to find and book sustainable, inspiring, and impactful hotel experiences. Each of the Beyond Green member properties is vetted according to over 50 sustainability indicators aligned with global sustainable tourism standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The brand’s portfolio has hotels in 18 countries worldwide and works towards protecting biodiversity, celebrating cultural heritage and improving local people’s livelihoods by delivering an exceptional guest experience.
Nina Boys, Vice President of Sustainability, Beyond Green, said: “As travelers, we have the opportunity and responsibility to ensure that our explorations have a positive impact on the places we visit and on the planet. Beyond Green helps conscious travelers select vetted properties that support local nature, culture, and community, which is one small action that each of us can take in making travel a force for good.”
The Sustainable Adventures offer a range of immersive cultural experiences, connecting guests with nature and taking travelers off the beaten path to understand each destination better. Activities include cooking classes, cultural tours, guided hikes, farmer-led tours, conservation and energy production tours, wildlife safaris, and more.
To celebrate Earth Day and these exciting new offers, I Prefer Hotel Rewards, Beyond Green’s loyalty program, is launching a limited-time Bonus Points Promotion, gifting I Prefer members 10,000 Bonus Points when they book one of the Sustainable Adventures promotions. Redeemable as Reward Certificates, these points never expire and can be used like cash towards free room nights at any participating Beyond Green I Prefer property and other on-property expenditure.
Beyond Green has been recognized by Travel + Leisure with a 2023 Global Vision Award for taking actionable, quantifiable steps to protect communities and environments worldwide.
