Booking.com has unveiled a first-of-its-kind sustainable travel designation for properties that might be on the itinerary of a climate-conscious traveler. Waste handling, energy and greenhouse gases, water usage, local community support, and protection of nature were the top areas of concern.
The hotel industry was hit particularly hard by the COVID pandemic, and we will continue to be impacted by Omicron and future developments with this virus. Many properties, particularly smaller ones, are struggling. Accommodations are not in a position to make large investments in the coming years of any kind.
Booking Holdings has chosen to address these barriers head on with our own Travel Sustainable badge. There is no “one size fits all” solution on the path to net zero. Adoption and scaling of sustainable practices falls on a spectrum, one that warrants intermediate recognition for properties doing the work they are capable of now to be more sustainable.
