Sustainability certification for hotel chains and groups

Travelife ChainConnect makes it easier for hotel groups with ten or more properties to achieve internationally recognised sustainability certification across their portfolio.

By working closely with staff at corporate headquarters, we can help ensure that centralised policies, systems and reporting are in place that will make it easier to achieve consistency at individual properties within your group. Each property will undergo an independent Travelife audit that is far more likely to run smoothly and with good outcomes because sustainability improvements and education are coordinated at a central level.

“Travelife helped and guided us through the preparation process for the audits at each hotel effectively. ChainConnect helped us to develop new corporate policies in quality, environment and sustainability, which meant we were able to better apply them to our certified establishments.”

“The ChainConnect service has helped us to introduce a more systematic approach to sustainability...the face to face head office meeting helped us to understand The Travelife criteria and requirements, as well as to explain to Travelife auditors our rationale and proof of compliance.”

Valamar Hotels and Resorts

Designed especially for accommodation chains

Our industry experience has helped us understand that every chain or group will have their own unique considerations when it comes to implementing better business practices. That is why we have different options we can discuss with you for different operational needs of hotel groups and their properties.

Dedicated support

Your group will have access to a team of three dedicated professionals to take you and your properties through every step of your journey towards better business; a Travelife Account Manager, a Travelife Technical Specialist and an independent Travelife Approved Auditor who has been specially trained to handle hotel groups.

A centralised approach

Your Account Manager will help you prepare for a Head Office Document Check that will help ensure that the better business practices you employ are consistent throughout your portfolio and streamline the certification process.

A practical framework

Along with access to the full suite of resources, templates and examples in the Member Zone, your Account Manager will provide you with a practical framework to help you benchmark, improve and measure your performance across the four main areas of better business; environmental management and resource efficiency, labour and human rights, conservation and community engagement.

Discounts for chains and groups

From small guest houses in remote villages to large 5-star resorts, we believe that any accommodation provider can improve their business by becoming Travelife Certified. Our prices are affordable and our team work hard to understand unique issues that different destinations and accommodation types face. The more properties that join, the lower your prices will be.

A tool for the travel industry

Some of the largest UK and European travel companies use Travelife as a tool to ensure their hotel suppliers are operating responsibly, and their clients have sustainable accommodation options when booking a trip. We supply multiple tour operators and online travel agents with weekly reports showing which of our member properties are Travelife Certified so they can be highlighted to travellers.
