The Preferred Hotel Group acquires Beyond Green Travel to advance its sustainable offering.

Beyond Green Travel is a provider sustainable tourism services and consulting, founded by ecotourism and global sustainability expert Costas Christ. Working with Costas and his team, Preferred Hotels will ‘create a sustainable tourism platform that will enable its brand promise of Believe in Travel to help our destination and hospitality clients infuse genuine, holistic, and inspiring sustainability best practices into their daily operations and overall ethos’. 

This will embrace core values of sustainable tourism including :
• a commitment to diversity, equality, and the wellbeing of local communities
• environmentally friendly practice, 
• support for the protection of cultural and natural heritage. 

Beyond Green Travel has advised destinations and governments on how to successfully implement sustainable tourism. In Colombia, Beyond Green Travel worked with the government and local villagers to create a peace through tourism strategy following decades of civil war. 

The company also established a national ecotourism plan for Bhutan, and recently led the Destination Stewardship Plan for Big Sur, California, encompassing 70 miles of scenic coastline and rural communities.

The Preferred Hotel Group, owned and operated by the Ueberroth Family, manages and operates global travel and hospitality brands. 

These represent more than 1,100 hotels, resorts, and residences across 85 countries and include Preferred Hotels & Resorts; Historic Hotels of America and Historic Hotels Worldwide.
