How Hotelbeds Supports Plastic-Free Travel
Sustainability is becoming a standard expectation across the travel industry, with clients increasingly seeking more responsible travel options. Particularly among younger audiences such as Gen Z, offering sustainable options is no longer optional, but essential to staying relevant and competitive.
The tourism industry is a large contributor to plastic pollution, and it’s time that the industry tackles this problem from the inside - just like our Certified Sustainable Hotels Programme, which now offers around 21,000+ sustainable hotels; 6500+ of which are single-use plastic-free.
Selling plastic-free stays is a commercial opportunity, as well as a moral choice.
With our growing portfolio of single-use plastic-free hotels, you can meet this demand while differentiating your offer and delivering higher-value stays.

Why go single-use plastic-free
Sustainability is driving booking behaviour more than ever:
- 80% of global travellers consider sustainability important
- 43% are willing to pay more for lower-impact stays
As travellers align their values with their spending, responsible travel options are becoming a key driver of both search and booking decisions. These hotels are outperforming non-sustainable accommodation options, seeing a 16.5% YoY growth in trading volumes, compared to 14.7% for non-sustainable hotels.
At the same time, increasing regulatory focus—particularly across Europe—is accelerating the shift away from single-use plastics, reinforcing sustainability as a long-term industry standard.
Only hotels that have attained industry-certified sustainability levels, such as those offered by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) or Travalyst, are part of our Certified Sustainable Hotels Programme. This gives you and your clients confidence when choosing more sustainable stays.
