The Eco Stay Awards

Maximise the value of your hotel’s sustainability data; celebrate your real eco wins

The only dedicated (and data-backed!) sustainability awards for hotels in Asia.

Are you tracking your hotel’s sustainability performance with Green Key, Green View, ISO or Earth Check? Put that data to work and increase its marketing benefit by entering the Eco Stay Awards.

We stand with travelfish.org, who say 2024 should be the year of “debunking and reclaiming” for companies in the travel industry.

Which is why winning a White, Green or Gold Bamboo Award, or one of our 30 Special Recognition Awards, is more than just another accolade. It’s a celebration of the real achievements propelling the industry towards a sustainable tomorrow.

The programme is backed up by verified data, meaning you can celebrate your sustainability achievements without the fear of virtue signalling or greenwashing that goes with it.
