Sustainability That Doesn't Start With Another Monthly Cost

Many sustainability initiatives require hotels to spend more. Gift a Tree takes a different approach.

When a guest chooses to skip a qualifying scheduled room clean, your hotel reduces its housekeeping, laundry, water and energy costs.

A small agreed programme contribution from that saving funds one tree for each qualifying guest choice. As a simple illustration, this could represent around 20% of the estimated saving, leaving approximately 80% with your hotel.

BUILT TO BE SIMPLE

A Programme Designed Around Your Hotel

A straightforward way to reduce operating costs, engage your guests and create measurable environmental impact — without adding another monthly subscription.

No Joining Fee

There is no programme joining or setup fee. We'll create the digital elements needed to get your hotel started.

No Monthly Subscription

There is no fixed monthly programme charge. Your contribution is linked directly to qualifying skipped room cleans.

Your Hotel Saves First

Your hotel reduces operating costs first. The programme contribution is made only after a qualifying skipped room clean has been reported.

Every Skip Funds a Tree

For every qualifying skipped room clean reported through the programme, the agreed programme contribution funds one tree.

A Branded Hotel Impact Page

Give guests somewhere to see the growing impact they're helping to create, carrying your hotel's own identity alongside Gift a Tree.

Reporting & Updates

Receive ongoing impact information that can support your hotel's communications, sustainability reporting and guest engagement.

MORE THAN A NUMBER ON A SCREEN

Show Your Guests Where Their Trees Are Making a Difference

A tree counter is useful. But we believe guests should also be able to understand the story behind it.

Gift a Tree works with tree-planting projects in Tanzania, including work in the Usambara Mountains. Through photographs, project updates and impact reporting, we can help your hotel communicate the story behind the trees its guests have helped to fund.

Make the Impact Visible

Participating hotels can have their own branded Gift a Tree impact page, giving guests a simple destination to see the trees supported through the programme and learn more about the planting behind them.

Your unique QR code can be used on guest materials, allowing the environmental story to continue beyond the room itself.
