Booking.com Celebrates One Year of Travel Sustainable with New Product Features for Accommodations, Rental Cars and Flights
With the introduction of these new levels, 400,000+ accommodations on Booking.com, including 15,366 in the United Kingdom , are now being recognised for their efforts to operate more sustainably.
The new Travel Sustainable badge levels have already been introduced and communicated to Booking.com's accommodation partners globally and will appear on the Booking.com website and app over the course of the coming weeks, with refreshed visuals to clearly distinguish the new levels of the programme.
A new search filter for fully electric and hybrid rental cars is now live across the Booking.com app and website, making it easier for travellers to find more sustainable ground transport options for their next road trip, with hybrid vehicles and fully electric options available in 60 countries.
As part of Booking.com's new partnership with climate tech company CHOOOSE , carbon emissions data for accommodation bookings in Europe will be displayed for the first time on the platform in an effort to both understand where and how to present this information so it is useful for customers in their decision-making process. The aim is also to explore how to best integrate offsetting options as part of the booking process in an understandable and seamless way.
Similarly, also together with CHOOOSE and in line with the aviation framework developed together with the Travalyst Coalition , Booking.com will also start providing information about the carbon emissions associated with flight options on the platform. The total carbon emissions footprint for a selected flight will start to be shown on the flight details page over the coming weeks. The option to sort flight searches based on this carbon emissions data will be introduced in 2023.
