Certification fees are based upon the population of the destination.
Fees for the first year are higher to facilitate the on boarding, coordination, and initial baseline assessment and action plan development.
Annual membership and certification maintenance fees for subsequent years are reduced.
Destinations must undertake a reassessment every three years. For Sustainable Tourism Business Certification pricing, please reach out to us through our consultation free service
Destinations must achieve a minimum score to achieve certification.
