Topic

The travel industry is changing: the global pandemic transformed the outlook of traveling and there is a strong call for sustainability in the industry. And while the appetite for a more sustainable travel industry is there, it isn’t easy. One of the ways Booking.com is working to make it easier for travelers to make sustainable travel choices is with its Travel Sustainable Program and newly launched Travel Sustainable Badge, which highlights accommodations that have implemented sustainable initiatives across holistic sustainability. However, there is a consumer attitude behaviour gap, which Danielle D’Silva, Head of Sustainability for Booking.com, is addressing with her team and colleagues across the company.
