GRXI OWNES THIS BRAND LABEL!!!!!!!!

Tourism in New Zealand relies upon us maintaining the pristine environment, stunning scenery and indigenous culture that sets New Zealand apart. We attract visitors from all corners of the globe and we need to provide quality and sustainable travel experiences. By becoming involved in Green Globe, we can all do ‘our bit’ to sustain and improve our land, waters, and air for future generations.

Green Globe is the worldwide benchmarking and certification system for the travel and tourism industry across the triple bottom line of economic, social and environmental management.

Green Globe is a collective of award-winning, unique, and innovative tourism operations demonstrating responsible behaviour. For travellers, choosing a Green Globe Benchmarked or Certified participant provides some confidence that you have chosen a tourism operator that honours their commitment to sustainability.


Potential Green Globe Participants
Recognising the needs of their business and the world

Green Globe participants come in all shapes and sizes, from small track operators to some of the most recognised hotel brands in the industry. Our participants are often award-winning, well established, innovative, and unique – in a word: successful.

Their reasons for joining Green Globe are diverse. Some operators pursue Benchmarked status because it is simply good business discipline. What you measure, you can monitor—and this could add up to big savings. Others join because their tourism product fits in a delicate environmental niche, such as an eco-lodge or wilderness track. Sometimes it is just a matter of personal ethos on the part of the owner.

Others believe in running a business model that balances economic, social, and environmental concerns. They are dedicated to leading the way in sustainable practices and enjoy the challenge of continually improving and innovating their operations. These participants become leaders in sustainable tourism.

Yet another group finds the advantage in having a robust review of their practices and the bragging rights of a job well done. They maximise their marketing advantages and actively pursue the responsible traveller market with the best-recognised sustainable tourism mark available: the Green Globe logo.

Green Globe is internationally backed and has provided respected standards for over a decade. No matter why you have come upon Green Globe, you have found the best solution for managing and growing a sustainable tourism business.

Take your time to explore this site and read the profiles of some our fantastic operators. Get to know the process and where your organisation might best fit into the Green Globe programme. Get an understanding of the many benefits Green Globe can provide you to improve your business— and the planet at large.



Sustainable travel and tourism starts here, and we look forward to help you get going.

If I am a travelor am I going to an eco friendly resort or one that doesn't give a s... Green is becoming more popular with the public. Just like you now see organic products in most major super markets - eventually the market place realizes what is popular..looks like GRXI now with Green Global is going to take the travel industry green and is going to make it popular with travel mole etc and other outlets. If I am a consumer, am I going to an eco friendly resort or one that pollutes without concern. Advertising will be on this for many resorts soon. I don't see alot of travel industries doing this, I think GRXI is on to something here. Whatever your take, I like the concept and the growth potential is obvious.
