We know you care about how hotels treat their employees and the environment. So does Whole Travel. That's why we developed Whole Ranking ® scores to evaluate the sustainability of our suppliers.

Each hotel, resort, and tour operator answers questions about their (1) Environmental practices, (2) Economic management, (3) Social and cultural support, and (4) Customer interaction. Based on their answers, we give them a Whole Ranking score between 0 and 5 fleather™ - and we share it with you.

You can easily compare how environmentally friendly and socially responsible all of our suppliers are, and also learn more about what each of them is doing.

Please visit Whole Travel Foundation to learn more about how Whole Ranking ® scores work.
