Find Certified Sustainable Hotels
Stay at accommodations that are certified as sustainable.
Travelers can drive positive change by encouraging hotels to obtain sustainability certifications, which provide strong evidence of their sustainable practices. Additionally, choosing travel companies committed to sustainable practices further supports environmental responsibility.
Certification is defined as a voluntary, third-party assessment, through an audit, of a tourism enterprise or destination for conformity to a standard. GSTC does NOT conduct certification. That is the job of the many Certification Bodies throughout the world; our job is to accredit those that certify.
Accreditation means that a Certification Body (CB) awards certification according to processes that comply with international standards and good practices. Businesses certified by an Accredited CB can use the GSTC logo along with the CB’s mark.
