"Through this forward-looking approach with

Beyond Green
Since its launch in 2021 by Preferred Travel Group, Beyond Green
has experienced a steady growth of diverse accommodations that each
uphold rigorous sustainability standards across environmentally
friendly practices, support for natural and cultural heritage, the
social and economic wellbeing of local communities, and sustainable
tourism management. Through partnerships with like-minded
properties and thought leaders, the brand aims to support and
amplify the impactful work of its member hotels that are walking
the walk of sustainability leadership around the world. Similarly,
andBeyond has demonstrated a deep commitment to sustainability
since its inception in 1991, pioneering initiatives in
community-based conservation, wildlife protection, and
environmental stewardship. Together, Beyond Green and andBeyond are
proud to harness the power of sustainable tourism partnership and
collaboration to scale collective positive impact and champion
travel as a force for good.
"Through this forward-looking approach with andBeyond, we are
uniquely positioned to effect meaningful change in the tourism
sector, inspiring travelers to embark on journeys that prioritize
sustainability and the protection of our planet," said Lindsey Ueberroth, CEO of Beyond Green. "There
is no better or more critical time than now for us to unite and
build a better, brighter future for all."
"As part of our 2030 vision to scale our impact through
strategic partnerships and coalitions of change, we are incredibly
pleased to announce an expanded collaboration with Beyond Green,"
said Joss Kent, Executive Chairman
and CEO, andBeyond. "Their dedication to sustainability exemplifies
our own ethos as a bespoke luxury travel company committed to
responsible travel across our operational footprint. As global
focus continually shifts toward the urgent preservation of Earth's
wild places, we believe our expanded partnership will be a powerful
continued influence shifting travelers to more sustainable travel
practices."

National Reserve, Kenya),
andBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge (Sossusvlei Private Desert
Reserve), and andBeyond Mnemba Island, which is currently
