Partnership with Click A Tree
Three Trees per Booking
Best Western Hotels are partnering with the German start-up Click A Tree, enabling guests in all countries of the Central European region to plant three trees per booking. This engagement involves no extra costs for the bookings and benefits the environment, animals all over the world as well as the climate.
Reforestation with a few clicks
With this green booking option, travelers can get involved with the environment right from the start of their travels in the booking process. Already since 2019, the BWH Hotels Central Europe has been actively committed to addressing the climate crisis together with the German start-up Click A Tree. For every booking that starts on the joint website of the cooperation partners, three trees will be planted without any additional costs for travelers. "Through our cooperation with Click A Tree, we are taking another step towards sustainability. With the reforestation that Click A Tree carries out around the world, we are not only actively combating climate change, but also creating habitat for endangered species as well as jobs for local communities. All our guests who attach particular importance to sustainable tourism and want to get involved even before they start their trip will benefit from this cooperation," explains Carmen Dücker, Managing Director BWH Hotels Central Europe.
Guests can choose which region is supported in the reforestation. The selection ranges from mangrove trees for marine life on the east coast of the Philippines to reforestation of habitat for elephants in Thailand and agroforestry projects in Ghana. Since the founding of Click A Tree in 2018, the organization has planted a number of trees, improving the habitat of wild animals and the lives of many people.

Three Trees per Booking
Even before their trip, guests can make a sustainable commitment by booking via the joint cooperation site of Best Western Hotels and Click A Tree. This does not involve any extra costs for travelers.
Sustainable Meetings
With BWH Hotel Group Central Europe, meeting and event planners have a strong partner at their side when it comes to sustainable meetings and events - because climate protection is playing an increasingly important role for many companies. The "green" booking method is also possible in the MICE sector. It works like this: The organizers make a co-payment of three Euros per participant for planting one tree per attendee via Click A Tree. In this way, they not only combat climate change, but also create jobs in communities in poorer countries. The green booking is handled directly via the central MICE Desk of BWH Hotels Central Europe.
The Fact Check
Six good reasons for planting trees
Trees are a source of food and habitat for almost all land organisms. Planting trees provides food and homes for elephants and other animals.
Forests work like giant filter systems: trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen - essential for the survival of us all!
Employment in poorer countries is raised, because Click A Tree does not rely on voluntary workers. In this way, the start-up is fighting poverty and hunger at the same time as climate change.
Water cycles that were interrupted by deforestation are recovering thanks to newly planted trees.
Tree canopies provide shade and protect smaller plants growing closer to the ground.
Trees improve the quality of the soil, prevent erosion, protect the earth from dehydration (desertification) and preserve smaller plants from impacts from harsh weather conditions.
