Wednesday, 16 December 20093 min read

Green Key Global, the exclusive provider of the Green Key Eco-Rating Program (“Green Key”), and Travelocity have partnered to recognize “green” hotels and resorts. Travelocity, the popular online travel website, will include Green Key members in its Green Hotel Directory; likewise, those hotels will also be tagged with an “Eco Friendly Hotel” symbol within Travelocity’s hotel shopping path.

“We are very excited to include Green Key as one of the official certification programs for our Green Hotel Directory, as the program is highly-respected within the sustainable travel community,” said Alison Presley, Manager of Travelocity’s “Travel for Good ®” program. “A hotel’s environmental practices are an area of interest to our customers, so recognizing Green Key membership on our site provides more value to the consumer.”

The Travelocity Green Hotel Directory currently has 700 members globally; in addition, Travelocity is the only major online travel agency that designates green certified hotel properties in its hotel shopping path. The “Eco Friendly Hotel” symbol is integrated into the master Travelocity hotel search database.
