Geschiedenis

So far, iStayEco has been a personal dream of a bunch of friends. We all love to travel, but we feel awful knowing it can have grave impacts on people, biodiversity and the planet. One day we woke up and decided we’d make some changes!

We figured if we could promote holiday accommodations that make ecological sense, we could build a way to travel the world with a good conscience. And thus the idea of iStayEco was born.

An important part of the equation for iStayEco is to support the work of 100s of organizations running programs to help accommodations get certified as sustainable. Their work is fundamental to shifting tourism from an industry that pollutes to one that leads the way for sustainable development.

The goal is to launch a platform involving an online booking system for travelers to stay with genuinely sustainable accommodations by fall of 2018.

iStayEco has a talented technical team in Belgium that are ready and willing to pour their heart and soul into producing a prototype of the platform to test our many ideas on how to provide exactly what travelers as well as sustainable accommodations would expect on the real platform. From how it searches places to stay, to how it shares information about each accommodations’ unique and sustainable features – we want to be sure we do it right.

We just need to come up with the funds to get a prototype done and that’s why we’ve created a crowdfunding campaign.

Anyone who helps fund the prototype will be more than welcome to receive updates on its development, as well as to test it and give feedback. There are perks too, like getting up to 30% off future iStayEco bookings.

That said, if you can help get iStayEco off the ground, please do!
