Idea

Eco Hotels & Resorts (EHR) is a hotel booking website gathering up a collection of the best sustainable luxury hotels around the world. Did you know that more than 50% of the population wants to travel sustainably but because there is so little information they end up in greenwashing hotels.
hotels selling themselves as sustainable just because they have a green initiative.

At EHR we guarantee that when you travel with us you are making a positive change in climate change. That is why all of our member hotels need to surpass certain sustainability and quality standards.

Current Status

We have 15 member hotels
Presence in 9 different Countries
More than 150K monthly visits to our website
We have more than 40K followers in social media

We have currently invested in top edge technology:
Booking engine
Loyalty program
Price differentiator from the competition

Market

Today there are more than 50k luxury sustainable hotels out there and that number is only going to increase. The is pressure from travelers and the main organizations in the world and the tourism industry expects the travel and tourism industry to be carbon neutral by 2050.

The tourism industry is a US$7 Trillion market.

And as mentioned before, 80% of the population wants to travel sustainably, we just have to give them the opportunity and worldwide options.

Problem or Opportunity

More than 80% of the population wants to travel sustainably but most of them end up in greenwashing hotels. Hotels selling themselves as sustainable just because they have a green initiative.

People are desperate to find sustainable options but do not know where to look for a truly sustainable experience.

We offer unique sustainable experiences in one single platform where the traveler can rest assured that the hotels in our collection have surpassed sustainability and quality standards.

Solution (product or service)

We have an easy-to-use platform where travelers can book sustainable and unique hotels.

Once the traveler is ready to book, price comparison will pop up so that the traveler can compare our prices to the ones of the competition, realizing that we are the best offer out there.

Competitors

We have direct competition but most of our hotels do not like to be broadcasted on those channels. These channels are extremely expensive for hotels and the hotels usually do not get the type of traveler they are looking for.
Booking.com
Expedia.com
Kiwi Collection
Mr. & Mrs Smith

Our hotels are looking more and more for conscious travelers. And these websites do not give that to them.



Advantages or differentiators

We are selling exclusive experiences, not just everything out there, that gives our travelers the security and importance they want to have when traveling.

As we mentioned we have price comparison tech on our website, so travelers can verify the we have the Bes Available Rate in addition of the perks we offer our travelers such as:
Upgrade
Amenities
Sustainability Tour
Wifi
And more

Finance

We have a commission-based business model where we gain a commission for every booking made through us.
The average booking is worth US$4,500

Our revenue expectations for the next 5 years is $100 Million USD

Money will be spent on

71% of the money will be spent on growing the company. We plan on having more than 1000 hotels in less than 5 years.
The rest will be spent in operations, mainly in the talent, sales, and marketing departments.

Offer for investor

We are open to negotiations

Risks

Competitors start branching ECO experiences. There is a lot of works behind that and it's impossible for them to do it overnight, they need to inspect every single hotel on their platform, which will take them a lot of time and money.

We need to make sure that the traveler understand what greenwashing really means so that they don't end up falling in "green initiatives"
