The Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) is developing and will launch a tailored Pre-Training Course on Sustainable Tourism for RNT HOTELS Co., Ltd, a Japanese hotel group operating more than 40 hotels throughout Japan under the Richmond Hotels and THE BASEMENT brands. 

This customized sustainability training is part of a broader multi-year training program designed to embed sustainability into RNT HOTELS’ operations and strengthen their contribution to responsible tourism in the region.
