TUI UK&I has announced its ‘Green and Fair’ label, coinciding with the launch of the tour operators Summer 2024 programme.
The label will highlight hotels that have been certified as sustainable by an independent organisation, which indicates the hotel has met the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Criteria. When a customer books a Green & Fair hotel, TUI will donate £1 per adult and £0.50 per child to the TUI Care Foundation. With more than 30 projects in 25 countries, the Foundation uses the positive power of tourism to improve the lives of young people, care for the natural world and to help local communities thrive. Projects include coral reef restoration in Bali, keeping sand and sea plastic free in Cyprus and vocational training at the TUI Academy for young people in the Dominican Republic.
TUI currently has more than 650 hotels worldwide now on sale that have been badged with a Green & Fair kite-mark on the TUI website, including locations in Las Vegas, Cancun, Cyprus and Majorca. The portfolio pf Green & Fair hotels will be reviewed three times a year.
Richard Sofer, commercial director at TUI UK&I, said, “We’re proud to be launching our Green & Fair Hotels label, making it easier for customers to recognise which hotels offer a more sustainable option.
“By staying in a Green & Fair hotel, your holiday choice goes a few steps further to help our planet and worldwide communities. Whether you’re travelling as a couple or fancy a more planet-friendly family getaway, our Green & Fair hotels cater to all group sizes in a huge variety of destinations, meaning there is something for every type of traveller and for all budgets.”
