The Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) invites you to provide input on revising the GSTC Hotel Criteria and GSTC Tour Operator Criteria drafts. The second public consultation is now currently active.
A report on the revisions from the first public consultation and second public consultation will soon be published.
The GSTC Criteria operate as the universal foundation for sustainability standards in travel and tourism. It has been meticulously established through a comprehensive global effort to introduce a universally understood and adopted language around sustainability within our industry.
In order to provide your feedback, please click on the link below. Please note that you DO NOT have to comment on every criterion. Kindly respond and submit any time before the closing deadline of 15 January, 2025 to criteria@gstc.org.
We would also appreciate it if you could help us spread the word about this consultation. Please share this invitation with anyone you know who is directly or indirectly involved with tourism and sustainability. That could include tour operators, travel agents, hoteliers, event organizers, policymakers, academics, non-profit organizations, community representatives, or even individual travelers.
Thank you in advance for your contributions to this important initiative. Together, we can continue to drive the conversation around sustainable tourism forward and make real, impactful changes to the way we all meet, travel, and operate in this industry.
Let’s shape the future of Sustainable Tourism for the better, one criterion at a time!
