RezHub.com Makes History Launching the First Ever Integrated Green Travel Search
Orlando, FL, March 30, 2008 --(PR.com)-- RezHub.com, an online travel agency who became both a pioneer and leader in Green Travel with the launch of their Green Travel Hub website, breaks ground again today with the integration of a revolutionary green travel search. With the kick-off of their new travel search, RezHub.com becomes the first travel site in history to incorporate Green Score ratings and information in every hotel search. Travelers now have a quick and easy way to learn about environmentally friendly lodging options, without having to spend extra time researching and reserving their trips at multiple websites.
Hotels who have earned a RezHub.com Green Score now appear in all search results highlighted in green along with their Green Score rating, and information about the steps they are taking for the planet. Green Scored hotels are also highlighted in map view results as a green arrow to make travel planning exceptionally simple (standard hotels appear as a blue arrow). As a part of their mission to bring green travel to everyone and for every trip, RezHub donates 20% of the proceeds from every trip booked at their Green Travel Hub to a customer chosen, environmental non-profit group. They make that donation whether the travel booked is standard travel or travel that is actually labeled green.
In the US alone, RezHub offers bookings with over 35,000 hotels and nearly 1,000 of those have earned a RezHub Green Score. Bookings with eco friendly hotels are also available in Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Germany and the UK. The list of Green Scored hotels continues to grow daily and continues to spread worldwide.
How do hotels earn a RezHub Green Score? RezHub came up with a list of Green Amenities, or steps that a hotel can take to help protect the planet. They give each Green Amenity a points value of 1, 2, or 3 (an amenity with 3 points takes a lot more effort for a hotel to achieve than an amenity with 1 point). Next, they add up the points for each hotel and give them a Green Score. Each hotel is awarded one Green Branch for each score level they achieve. Hotels need to show that they are participating in or incorporating at least one of the Green Amenities to get started in the program. Some examples of green amenities are: Participation in an Energy Conservation Program, Donating to Non-Profits, Serving Organic Food, Using Compact Fluorescent Lighting, and the list goes on.

RezHub is working to green up the travel industry by showing customers that green travel options are readily available around the world. "We want people to know that they don't have to go to extremes to have a green vacation," says Marketing Executive for the site, Melissa Evans. "Brands that we all know and love are taking some big steps for the planet, and we're helping our customers see that every trip can be green." RezHub promises the guaranteed lowest rates on the majority of their hotels, and they back it with a 110% guarantee. To find these guaranteed low rates, simply look for the "Hot" icon in the search results.
