At Van der Valk Hotel Gent, you can choose to skip your room cleaning and plant a tree in exchange. We cooperate with Go Forest, an organization whose mission is to fight deforestation by planting trees in developing areas. If you choose to skip your cleaning, we will plant a tree in Madagascar in partnership with GoForest.

Care for communities

At Go Forest, we don’t just plant trees. We engage in much more, such as ensuring sustainable support for local communities. We do so by using the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which serve as a blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and in the future. Depending on the region and the project, you’ll be supporting different SDGs.
