Green Hotel Certification and Green Globe International recently announced that they entered into an initial partnership to provide dual certification for hotels and resorts in the Caribbean as well as the U.S., Central and South America and Europe. This partnership offers the enormous advantage for properties to undergo just one certification or re-certification process in order to reach both certification labels.

“This co-branding alliance with Green Certification is exactly the type of licensing arrangement that Green Globe International will pursue with qualified partners in the sustainability sector,” said Steven R. Peacock, CEO and managing director of Green Globe International, in a written release.

“With one certification process, one fee, two awards and plenty of marketing and PR opportunities, all parties involved win”, said Guido Bauer, CEO of Green Hotel Certification, who Travel Agent interviewed earlier this year on a piece about eco-friendly Caribbean resorts.
