WHAT IT IS?

Hotel for trees is a non-profit organization founded in May 2021 which propose is helping the hotel industry in being more sustainable by planting trees. To achieve this goal, the organization turns skipped the daily room cleaning services at the hotels into tree planting.

  1. How cool is this "Seed"?

    Does it have future growth potential?

    Charming, even a bit ’emotionally moving’. Fresh as well. (WOW for me). I know of a Copenhagen hotel who also skips cleaning-the-room-every-day. But that’s it. Your hotel makes a emotional intelligent trade off. well-hunted, good writing as well. Thank you. Carl

  2. I liked how your post shows that skipping a simple housekeeping service can become something meaningful. Planting a tree creates a real memory for the guest, not just a small eco action. It made me think that if hotels shared updates of the tree later on, the connection with the stay could last much longer.

  3. Very cool and definitely a wow! Day by day, I see various sustainability initiatives, and they’re usually about companies donating money or reducing waste. But this idea goes beyond that. It’s not just about saving water or electricity when the housekeeping team skips cleaning a room it also creates a tangible impact, like planting a tree instead. I really like it great job! I also liked the picture, especially how the world was represented using trees and water.

    Good finding, Andreu! A very good touch point that makes a difference specially for its tangibility as the plantings are well communicated to clients through the door hanger explaining it. This allows the guests to value positively this measure. Congratulations!
