TiCATi

What TiCATi does

TiCATi is a direct-to-consumer online marketplace that curates and books eco-luxury hotels worldwide. The platform targets environmentally conscious affluent travelers and connects them with luxury hotels that demonstrate genuine sustainability credentials. Its website supports 16 languages and 26 currencies and features an interactive map with eco-preference filters, enabling global self-serve discovery and booking. Featured city collections include Singapore, New York, Tokyo, Paris, Dubai, and London, and the platform lists luxury properties from brands such as Belmond, Aman, Four Seasons, Bvlgari, Cheval Blanc, Le Sirenuse, and Passalacqua, with observed nightly rates ranging from approximately USD 553 to USD 17,026.

The company's core technology is its proprietary Green Leaders rating system, which assigns hotels leaf-based green ratings derived from the number of eco-initiatives they implement (renewable energy, recycling, local sourcing, clean transportation, community support). The platform deliberately remains unaffiliated with any single certifier and recognizes 80+ green certifications, including EarthCheck, Green Key, Green Globe, LEED, ISO standards, EU Ecolabel, and WWF. Beyond the core booking website, TiCATi operates the TiCATi Jetsetter paid membership program (offering exclusive rates, surprise upgrades, concierge care, and tailor-made experiences), the free Club (unlocking secret pricing), curated TiCATi Escapes seasonal collections, and Ocean Journeys sustainable cruise offerings. The platform offers social login via Facebook, Google, Apple, LinkedIn, and LINE, plus concierge contact via WhatsApp, phone, and email.

TiCATi monetizes through a marketplace commission model, earning fees from hotels on completed bookings, supplemented by its freemium membership tiers. The company holds GSTC (Global Sustainable Tourism Council) membership, lending institutional credibility to its sustainability positioning. The company appears to be privately held and founder-led, with no disclosed funding rounds, management team, headcount, revenue, or founding date in the available source material.
