The Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) welcomes your feedback on the draft revisions of the GSTC Hotel Standard and GSTC Tour Operator Standard in this third round of public consultation, which is now open until July 3rd, 2025.
The GSTC Standards (known previously as GSTC Criteria) serve as the global standards for sustainability in travel and tourism and have been meticulously established through a comprehensive global effort to introduce a universally understood and adopted language around sustainability within our industry.
To share your feedback, please use the links below. You’re not required to comment on every criterion; feel free to focus on the areas most relevant to you.
We would be grateful if you could also help us raise awareness about this consultation by sharing the invitation with your network. Anyone connected to tourism and sustainability, whether directly or indirectly, can contribute valuable insights. This includes hotel managers, tour operators, travel advisors, hotel staff, event planners, government officials, researchers, NGOs, community leaders, and even mindful travelers.
Thank you in advance for supporting this meaningful initiative. By working together, we can continue to shape the future of sustainable tourism and inspire positive change in the way we travel, connect, and do business in this sector.
