Travel & Tree: Swap beds for e-bikes

Get free e-bikes and plant trees with empty rooms. An innovative opportunity to attract new overnight guests.

Life could be so beautiful if it weren't for Corona. A difficult period lies behind us and a challenging off-season lies ahead. What can you do to fill empty rooms and convince those who are hesitant to stay at home to go on vacation this year?

Travel & Tree offers an answer to this question. Thanks to an innovative cooperation with an established e-bike provider, it is possible to use empty room contingents to provide free e-bikes to hotel guests. As a bonus, a tree is planted for every overnight stay. Free!

The principle is simple:

• You receive free e-bikes.
• They hand out a certain number of vouchers for free hotel beds.
• A tree is planted for every hotel voucher redeemed.

That's all. Your hotel guests can go on excursions into nature and the surrounding area without having to worry about a bike or renting it from an external bike provider. As a hotel, you can use the new offer, the e-bikes, to put together special accommodation deals and draw special attention to your hotel. If you wish, you can also exchange electric cars and a charging station for room blocks to complete the electric mobility portfolio in your hotel.

It's like its own currency: electromobility in exchange for hotel beds.

New added value: e-mobility for hotel guests

The e-bikes are new and high quality. All bicycles are picked up by the e-bike provider either at the end of the season or at a specific time each year in order to repair them for the following season. This means you always have e-bikes that have been checked by experts and offer maximum riding fun and absolute safety for your hotel guests, without you having to worry about service and maintenance.

Your advantages:

• You optimize the occupancy in your hotel.
• You receive modern e-bikes, e-cars or e-charging stations free of charge.
• You have electromobility as an additional offer.
• You can use new topics profitably in marketing.
• You reach new target groups, such as e-bike fans.
• You generate more sales.
• They enable your hotel guests to go on great trips that they would not be able to do without an e-bike.
• The special holiday experiences will remain in your memory forever.

The highlight: You and your hotel guests automatically make a contribution to climate protection because every overnight stay plants a tree, without you or the traveler having to incur additional costs for the tree.

Additional Information:

• The vouchers should be valid for 3 years.
• The voucher can only be redeemed at the hotel after prior agreement with you. You remain flexible as to when the vouchers can and cannot be redeemed. Closing times are possible.

Special deal: from 1,000 trees you get 1,000 trees extra!

Once more than 1,000 trees are planted via this organic hotel route, Travel & Tree will plant another 1,000 trees. This means that 1,000 overnight stays double the number of trees planted. In total, this offsets around 1,000 tonnes of CO2, which corresponds to the average CO2 emissions of 135 end consumers per year. The more hotel beds you convert into e-bike vouchers and overnight stays, the more likely you are to balance your personal carbon footprint. And all of this at no additional cost!

Optionally, you can also offer your hotel guests tree packages, for example as compensation for traveling by car.

Sustainability and climate protection concern us all so that we can still have wonderful holidays in beautiful nature tomorrow.

Times are difficult because of Corona, but they are currently showing us that vacationing in your own country offers significantly more added value than many people previously thought. Let's come together and do something for nature together.
