Green Loyalty for Airlines and travel industry
As desire to travel the world continues to rise, so does awareness for the environment.
These days, consumers believe they are faced with a difficult choice: travel or care for nature. As a result they end up travelling less. But the choice doesn’t have to be that hard. Green Loyalty is our concept for solving this dilemma for you and your customers.
Through extensive research, we have identified customers’ true pain points regarding sustainable travel. Green Loyalty targets these pain points by providing sustainable options and eco-friendly solutions to support self-determined decisions.
Discover our Green Loyalty approach, which offers travel companies concrete solutions for achieving their sustainability goals by enhancing their loyalty program.

How can Green Loyalty help you successfully promote sustainable travel?
Green loyalty addresses your customers' four key desires to make sustainable travel work
Fear of Greenwashing
Greenwashing is defined as the deceptive use of green PR or green marketing in order to promote a false sense that an organization’s products, aims or policies are environmentally friendly.
Greenwashing is a serious issue across many industries, and has clearly damaged the credibility of sustainable tourism initiatives.
Transparency and Visibility
Travel companies need to be transparent about their environmental practices in order to gain the trust of consumers.
Give customers the information they need to fully understand the impact of their choices and decisions. Make them proud of their contribution and build visibility on the impact they have.
Lack of options
The travel industry has been gradually increasing its efforts to become more sustainable, but there is still a lack of options beyond CO2 compensation to contribute to our global sustainability goals.
While there are sometimes possibilities to travel more sustainably, these are often poorly communicated, are not practical, lack relevance or simply are not possible for everyone.
Relevance and choice
Missing appreciation
So far, green travel is often seen as an inconvenience or something that costs more money. Instead sustainable travel behavior should be encouraged and celebrated.
Loyalty programs offer the perfect framework to show appreciation to travelers that care for the planet but current loyalty programs are not designed around sustainability.
Benefits and rewards
Incentivize positive actions with (a green) bonus currency and offer attractive rewards and benefits potentially tied to a “green” tier level.
Fear of being the lone fighter
The popular image of the lone ranger, working to make their home and life more sustainable is one that is all too common. It can be overwhelming and depressing at times, feeling like you are the only one doing anything to make a difference.
Powerful community

Global sustainability objectives
Sustainability efforts by the travel industry
****** Travel companies are going ‘net zero.’ Here’s what that means. – The Washington Post
The travel industry has made efforts to encourage sustainability, but consumers have been slow to respond. This is likely due to a lack of education and understanding of the benefits of sustainable travel, and how measures such as carbon offsets can help reduce the environmental impact of air travel.
Fortunately, loyalty programs can help to bridge this gap by providing tangible rewards for sustainable consumption. Consumers are more likely to respond positively to incentives such as discounts on green products or services, or additional points for eco-friendly travel choices. By making sustainability an integral part of their loyalty programs, the travel industry can empower consumers to make greener choices and help reduce their environmental impact.
