Sustainability Stories Podcast: Green Collection with Global Hotel Alliance

In this episode, we speak with Jelena Kezika, Global Director Strategy, Global Hotel Alliance (GHA), about their Green Collection initiative on the one-year anniversary since launch.

The Green Collection is a group of 200 hotels within the GHA Discovery loyalty program that are committed to protecting the environment and supporting local communities. We discuss what criteria hotels need to meet to be included in the Green Collection and how GHA is helping its member hotels to become more sustainable.

We also explore the positive impact that the Green Collection is having on the environment and local communities.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the interview:

• GHA is working with its member hotels to implement a number of sustainability initiatives
• The Green Collection is having a positive impact on the environment and local communities. For example, hotels in the Green Collection have collectively reduced their carbon emissions by 10% over the past year.
• GHA has seen members paying more and staying longer at The Green Collection hotels.
