We don’t just believe that travel can make the world a better place, we prove that it can.

Our Work

We are thrilled that many of the world’s top travel companies, hotel groups, tourism boards and travel associations hire us to help them achieve the goal of sustainable tourism success. Our professional network and global expertise run deep - we know the people and places that are leading the way to a brighter travel future based upon innovation, impact and sustainability leadership. After all, we have helped them to get there.

As sustainable tourism pioneers and ecotourism experts, we are a team of branding and marketing professionals, and top writers and storytellers, able to craft winning content and strategies that enable businesses and destinations to reach today’s experiential traveler. Passionate in our work and tireless in our pursuit of excellence, we make travel matter for local people and our precious planet. Building more successful travel businesses and more sustainable destinations - from urban neighborhoods to countryside retreats, and from wilderness reserves to island archipelagos - is at the heart of what we do.

As the President of Beyond Green Travel, Costas Christ was instrumental in the launch of Beyond Green in 2020 as a portfolio of Planet Earth’s Most Sustainable Hotels, which he co-founded together with Preferred Hotel Group CEO Lindsey Ueberroth. Beyond Green Travel continues to support its sister brand, Beyond Green, by managing the on-site vetting inspections that are a fundamental part of the membership process. These inspections are led by independent sustainable tourism auditors who assess hotels based on Beyond Green’s comprehensive sustainability criteria, which is rooted in globally recognized sustainable tourism leadership standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Through our affiliation with PTG Consulting, we offer a full suite of services to complement sustainability programs in the areas of public relations and media relations; digital marketing and social media; operations and asset management; travel trade and product development; sales; and specific to hotels, pre-opening and opening support, as well as revenue management.

PRofessional services

Beyond Green Travel’s holistic approach to sustainable tourism is defined by three key pillars: environmentally friendly practices, the protection of natural and cultural heritage, and the social and economic wellbeing of local communities. Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and global sustainable tourism standards, we work with destinations, hotels, tourism boards, and other tourism organizations to produce thoughtful expert-led solutions.

Hotel Sustainability Audits

We conduct a full analysis of our clients’ sustainability efforts, considering everything from recycling and wastewater management to local community partnerships. These audits explain where our clients are in their sustainable journey, while providing recommendations on how to take their sustainability practices to the next level of success.

Sustainable Tourism Product Development

By engaging with local stakeholders and conducting product inventories and assessments, we design unique visitor experiences and product assets. We identify practical and implementable short and long-term steps to grow and reach our clients’ sustainable tourism goals. From developing new activities to ensuring tourism dollars are benefitting local residents, our comprehensive reports outline an action plan for success.

Destination Stewardship and Visitor Management

We conduct on-the-ground assessments and engage with local stakeholders to understand a destination’s unique needs and challenges. We explore creative solutions and thoughtfully implement ideas that connect the dots between stakeholder interests and destination planning. The result is a flourishing sustainable tourism destination that balances the need for maximizing tourism’s economic benefits with responsible tourism and visitor management strategies.

Sustainability Education and Training

We conduct interactive in-person and virtual education/training sessions on sustainable tourism best practices, providing examples of sustainable tourism in action for hotels, destinations, and other tourism organizations in the hospitality and travel industry.

Sustainable Tourism Content Development

Considering a wide variety of perspectives, we craft compelling stories on behalf of our clients, ranging from website content to onsite hotel and destination information, to online narratives and articles. We also develop purpose, vision and mission statements for our clients that reflect the three pillars of sustainable tourism.

Sustainability Analysis and Reporting

We help provide external resources for tracking, monitoring and benchmarking environmental, cultural and community impact, while providing guidance and support to set future goals. We also work in tandem with our clients to create ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) and other reports that reflect their sustainability accomplishments and impact to date.
