Greentraveller was founded in 2006 by travel writer, Richard Hammond, travel editor of [|National Geographic Green magazine supplement] and the former [|eco travel correspondent for the Guardian newspaper]. In 2009, greentraveller.co.uk was the winner of the British Travel Press Awards, Travel Editors’ Green Award. The Sunday Times has described greentraveller as "the first place to look for green holidays" and the Daily Mail said: “Greentraveller presents a fresh approach to green travel".

[|The Green Travel List] is organised by greentraveller.co.uk in association with the sustainability charity [|Forum for the Future]. The aim of the Green Travel List is to help travellers find a greener holiday. It does not single out individual 'winners’, instead the idea is to provide a comprehensive list of a wide range of companies that have introduced significant changes to their business, the products they offer and the way they perform. These companies have convinced the judging panel that sustainability is at the heart of their business. Judges includes Tim Smit (Chief Executive and co-founder of The Eden Project), Jan Peter Bergkvist, former Vice President Sustainable Business, Scandic Hotels, and Alastair Sawday (publisher of the Special Places to Stay guidebooks) and Rochelle Turner, Head of Research, Which? Holiday. The Green Travel List was published in the [|Guardian] in February 2010.
