What does Hotels for Trees do?
Hotels for Trees is working on a simple but impactful mission: to plant trees for a greener future. Hotels that participate offer their guests the option to forgo daily room cleaning. For every time a guest chooses to do so, the foundation plants a tree. In this way, both hotels and their guests contribute directly to nature restoration and climate improvement. On the website, visitors can see exactly how many trees have already been planted and which wonderful projects are supported worldwide.

Real-time insight with Trees API
An important part of the platform is the Trees API we developed. This API allows users to retrieve or update the current number of trees planted. The link with the Hotel API ensures that each tree planting is automatically linked to the correct hotel. Both the website and dashboard use this API, so visitors always see an up-to-date overview of the sustainable performance of the connected hotels.
Hotel data managed with Hotels API
Minty Media also developed the Hotels API, which efficiently manages and processes all hotel data. As soon as a hotel registers, a hotel account is automatically created. Hotels can use the dashboard to manage their profile, upload a logo or banner and fill in details such as the number of rooms. In addition, it dynamically displays how many trees the hotel has already planted, both within the dashboard and on the website.
Multilingual support
To best support Hotels for Trees Foundation worldwide, we chose AI translation within the website and dashboard. Thanks to this technology, the main language is translated automatically and at lightning speed into any language required, without the need for manual adjustments. This enables Hotels for Trees to reach an international audience and inform and inspire visitors in their own language. We believe AI translation is the future, as it enables organizations to dramatically expand their reach, tap into new markets and provide an inclusive user experience.
Widgets, integrations and rankings
In addition to the APIs, Minty Media developed a special widget. This allows hotels to easily show on their own website how many trees they have planted in the meantime. The dashboard also offers integrations with systems like Mews and Smiirl. This allows hotels to communicate their sustainability efforts even better to their guests.
Within the dashboard you will find a ranking of hotels that have planted the most trees. This ranking is automatically synchronized with the website, so visitors can immediately see which hotels are leaders in sustainability.
Collaboration is the key
At Minty Media, it's not about simply completing a project, but about building lasting collaborations in which we grow and innovate together.
We now have a strong and long-term partnership with the Hotels for Trees Foundation, in which innovation is central. Together we constantly work on developing new digital solutions and functionalities that contribute to the foundation's mission: planting more trees and making the world a greener place.
