By assisting operators in improving the sustainability of their operations with useful tips and advice.
Motivating operators to improve the sustainability of their operations by providing them tangible incentives.
Rewarding through the award of the Label, those operations that have successfully improved the sustainability of their operations.
The SSTL seeks to encourage and guide improvements in sustainability outcomes as such the project is as much an educational process as an examination process.
The Sustainable Tourism Certification Alliance (the “Alliance”) aims to create an integrated regional approach to sustainable tourism certification initially in southern and East Africa with stakeholders from other African countries encouraged to participate as a means of broadening the scope of the Alliance over time.
