A Landmark Endorsement 
This prestigious endorsement from Booking.com, one of the world’s leading online travel agencies (OTAs), is a major milestone for Green Key Global. Being included in Booking.com’s list of recommended third-party sustainability certifications reflects the growing demand for responsible travel options and the recognition that hotels and accommodations must adapt to meet the needs of eco-conscious travelers. 

In a recent article published by Skift, Booking.com unveiled its new initiative to guide hotels toward obtaining third-party sustainability certifications, positioning Green Key Global as a trusted partner in this effort. As the global demand for sustainability continues to rise, Green Key Global stands at the forefront, offering hotels in North America a proven, credible, and thorough certification process that helps them demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility.
