Expedia announces worldwide enhancement of their green hotel program

Are you an Expedia “green hotel partner”? Update your content to display your green/sustainability status.

Green Hospitality Award is an Expedia approved Third-Party Certification program.

Extract from Expedia announcement to all their member hotels on Tuesday 26 January 2010:

“Like you, Expedia is committed to enhancing and preserving the world we travel in. To that end, we are proud to announce the newest version of our "Expedia Green Hotels" program. This program is closely aligned with the Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria, a set of guidelines created by the United Nation Foundation, Rainforest Alliance, United Nations Environmental Program, and United Nations World Tourism Organization. This set of criteria was created to "protect and sustain the world's natural and cultural resources while ensuring tourism meets its potential as a tool for poverty alleviation."

If you are a green/sustainable program participant and would like your certification highlighted on our sites, please visit Expedia Partner Central to update your hotel content.

A list of pre-approved programs vetted by Sustainable Travel International and available for display on our sites can be found on Expedia Partner Central. Green hotels will be searchable via Expedia's Amenities tool and found on the hotels search result page. In addition, a paragraph of information will appear on your infosite describing the program type with which you are involved.

Later in the quarter we will also republish our Green Hotels list that can be found in Expedia's Green Store. Let us help you market your green/sustainable efforts! “
