Beyond Green, a portfolio of rigorously vetted hotels, resorts, lodges, and unique accommodations, the mission-driven brand now includes strategic consulting services for destinations, travel brands, and other aligned organisations. Alongside this expansion, Beyond Green has welcomed five new member properties across North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia into its global portfolio.
Introducing Beyond Green Consulting
As part of this evolution, Beyond Green has unified its brand structure to include Beyond Green Hotels – its original portfolio of vetted member properties meeting rigorous sustainability standards – and Beyond Green Consulting, a globally recognized consultancy originally founded as Beyond Green Travel in 2005 by sustainable tourism pioneer Costas Christ, supported by his wife Sally Christ. Acquired by Beyond Green’s parent company, Preferred Travel Group, in 2019, the consultancy now operates under the Beyond Green brand, complementing its member community by extending the mission and positive impact of sustainable travel across the broader industry.
Under the leadership of Nina Boys, Vice President of Sustainability and Beyond Green, Beyond Green Consulting delivers strategic guidance to destinations, hospitality brands, governments, and mission-aligned organisations, supported by a global network of experts. The integration of consulting into the Beyond Green brand strengthens the company’s ability to empower clients across the travel industry in leveraging sustainable travel to drive business success while maximising meaningful benefits for people, places, and the planet.
“With this expanded structure, Beyond Green is positioned to support a broader spectrum of changemakers across the travel industry,” said Lindsey Ueberroth, CEO of Beyond Green. “By bringing together our global portfolio of sustainability-driven member properties and strategic advisory expertise, we’re unlocking new opportunities to scale impact and inspire meaningful change.”
