Delightfully Better Together: Creating Personalized Travel Experiences

What Is the Delightfully Better Together Project?

Delightfully Better Together is all about creating experiences that feel just right—whether you’re flying solo, traveling with family, or gathering with friends. It’s a collection of resorts where fun isn’t one-size-fits-all; instead, the vibe is yours to shape. Imagine digital-first escapes where guests lead the way, boldly local stays that soak up the culture, and family-friendly adventures that don’t just entertain but also honor sustainability. Whether it’s the buzz of mountain energy, the laid-back charm of coastal spots, or epic escapes that spark your imagination, these destinations deliver a blend of adventure, comfort, and those thoughtful little touches that make you smile. Across every brand under this umbrella, good vibes aren’t just a promise—they check in and stick around.

The Power of People and Vibes

At the heart of this project is a team that’s more than just leaders or stakeholders. It’s a collective that truly believes in the power of people and the magic of vibes. This isn’t about corporate jargon or empty slogans; it’s about creating spaces where connections happen naturally, where every guest feels like they belong, and where the energy is contagious. The team’s commitment shines through in every detail, making each stay unforgettable on a personal level.

Certified B Corp: More Than a Badge

Being a Certified B Corporation here isn’t just a fancy label or a marketing ploy. It’s a genuine commitment to doing business in a way that’s conscientious and meaningful. The project takes real strides to make the planet a better place, proving that hospitality and responsibility can go hand in hand. This certification reflects a dedication to social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability—values that resonate deeply throughout every resort and experience offered.

Giving Back with 1% for the Planet

One of the standout features of this initiative is its partnership with 1% for the Planet. This global network connects amazing businesses and environmental organizations, all working together to support people and the planet. As part of this network, the project donates 1% of hotel revenue to environmental charities. It’s a simple but powerful way to ensure that every stay contributes to a bigger cause, helping to protect and preserve the natural world that guests come to enjoy.

Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

• SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth – fostering sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture
• SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – emphasizing sustainability in all operations and guest experiences
• SDG 13: Climate Action – supporting environmental charities and reducing ecological footprints
• SDG 15: Life on Land – protecting natural habitats through conscientious business practices
• SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – collaborating with global networks like 1% for the Planet

Why This Project Matters

In a world where travel can sometimes feel disconnected or impersonal, Delightfully Better Together brings back the human touch. It’s about more than just places to stay—it’s about creating moments that resonate, vibes that linger, and a commitment to doing good while doing well. Whether it’s through innovative guest experiences, a strong ethical foundation, or meaningful environmental contributions, this project sets a new standard for what hospitality can be. It’s a reminder that travel, when done thoughtfully, can be a force for positive change.

What andCo actually does

andCo (the group behind the “Delightfully Better Together” hospitality brand) describes itself as the first multi-state resort group in the U.S. built around a sustainability-first operating model, rather than adding sustainability as a marketing layer onto a conventional resort business.

Where the commitment shows up

• Revenue giving: donates 1% of hotel revenue to environmental charities as a 1% for the Planet member
• Verified impact reporting: publishes an annual benefit report detailing measured impact, not just self-reported claims
• Guest experience: positions eco-friendly practices and community engagement as part of the stay itself, not a separate program

Proof, not just claims

andCo is B Corp certified, with leadership including Jared and Kristi Meyers overseeing operations across its multi-state resort group.

Why this belongs on a sustainability directory

andCo’s business model ties resort revenue directly to environmental funding through 1% for the Planet, and its B Corp certification (scoring 133, a record in hospitality) verifies that the underlying operations, not just the marketing, meet an external sustainability bar. This is a concrete link to SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) through verified operating standards and SDG 13 (Climate Action) through the direct revenue-to-environmental-charity pipeline.
