Quick answer

What does a travel, hospitality or events company need from tree plantation?

For most travel and hospitality firms, the main route is CSR, which requires at least 2% of average net profit of the last three years, preferring local areas. The Ministry of Tourism's sustainability criteria cover accommodation, tour operators and beaches, backwaters, lakes and rivers, but do not set a planting quota. Planting can supplement cuts to flight and event emissions, never replace them.

Travel, hospitality and events: what drives plantation

Hotels, airlines, travel companies and event organisers have no planting law of their own. The cards below show what does drive plantation: CSR, BRSR, tourism ministry guidance and guests who ask about impact.

Driver	What it asks	How plantation helps	Source
CSR spending (Companies Act 2013, s.135)	Companies above the thresholds spend at least 2% of average net profit of the three preceding years, preferring areas where they operate.	Yes: environmental sustainability is a CSR area. Forests near hotels, airports or destinations can be the local area.	PIB: Funds in Corporate Social Responsibility (Mar 2022)
BRSR Core and green credits disclosure (SEBI, 2025)	BRSR Core assessment or assurance reaches the top 1,000 listed entities in FY 2026-27; Principle 6 now asks about green credits.	Partly: geo-tagged plantation data supports Principle 6. It does not reduce reported scope 1 or 2 emissions.	SEBI circular on BRSR Core, value chain and green credits (Mar 2025)
Sustainable Tourism Criteria for India (Ministry of Tourism, 2014)	Criteria for accommodation, tour operators and beaches, backwaters, lakes and rivers. Hotel projects need STPs, rainwater harvesting, waste and energy measures.	Partly: trees are not among the listed measures. Native campus planting and water-body restoration can sit alongside them.	PIB: Sustainable Tourism Criteria for India (Apr 2017)
National Strategy for Sustainable Tourism (Ministry of Tourism, 2022)	Pillars include promoting environmental sustainability, protecting biodiversity and a certification scheme for sustainable tourism.	Partly: native forests and restored lakes near destinations support the biodiversity pillar. The strategy sets no planting quota.	PIB: Promotion of Green Tourism (Jul 2024)

Hotels and resorts

Use campus land for native trees, shade and a small Miyawaki forest. Resorts near lakes or ponds can add lake restoration to their CSR plan.

Plant species suited to the local climate and water. A survey comes before any design.

Flights, trips and events

Measure first. Our carbon calculators give an estimate for flights, stays and events.

Then cut what you can: fewer flights, local food, less waste, cleaner power. Planting is a supplement to those steps, never a substitute, and the carbon figure stays an estimate.

Tree per guest, booking or run

A tree per booking, guest, ticket or finisher is easy to explain and easy to show. Each tree is geo-tagged on our one-tree-per-sale platform, and guests get a link to their tree.

Sports franchises can tie trees to match moments, and event teams can turn attendees into a planting day. See tree plantation drives.

Questions travel, hospitality and events companies ask

Can planting trees make a flight or event carbon neutral?

Not on its own. Cut emissions first, then use planting as a supplement. Carbon figures from trees are estimates.

How does a tree-per-booking programme work?

You choose the trigger, such as a booking, stay or ticket. We plant one geo-tagged tree for each and send a link the guest can open.

What does one tree cost?

Pricing depends on the number of trees, the location and the programme. Each tree is a 2-3 ft sapling, planted, geo-tagged and cared for three years. Campus and lake projects are priced per project after a site survey.

Do the tourism ministry's criteria require hotels to plant trees?

The criteria we have seen list STPs, rainwater harvesting, waste and energy measures, not tree planting. Native planting can sit alongside those measures.

Can we plant a tree per run, match or finisher at a sports event?

Yes. We plant after the event, geo-tag each tree and share the forest page with participants and fans.

Can our hotel use CSR funds for a forest near the property?

Yes, environmental sustainability is an eligible CSR area, and the law prefers local areas. Read our CSR plantation page.

Do you sell carbon credits?

No. We do not sell carbon credits from these plantations.
