Ecotourism Kenya is a participating organisation in the Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria (GSTC), a coalition of over 20 organisations working together to foster increased understanding of sustainable tourism practices.
The new criteria is based on best practices around the world and will be the minimum standard that any tourism business should aspire to reach in order to protect and sustain the world’s natural and cultural resources.
