Green Tourism membership is built around progress

Green Tourism membership gives your organisation a recognised sustainability framework for tourism and hospitality, with Green Tourism Certified at its heart. It brings together practical ESG guidance, Carbon Tracker and digital tools that help your team organise action, measure progress and build credible evidence of what you are doing.

Membership gives you a shared structure to work within, while still reflecting the priorities, scale and challenges of your own organisation.

Certification with a clear plan

Green Tourism Certified turns that framework into a clear route to independent certification. Its 10 practical ESG modules cover Environmental, Social and Governance priorities, while GreenCheck keeps your actions, evidence and progress together in one digital space.

With guidance throughout the programme, you can understand the criteria, strengthen the evidence already in place and prepare for independent third-party audit.

Measure what matters

The ISO validated Carbon Tracker measures Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions across one site or an entire group. See where emissions come from, identify opportunities to reduce carbon and costs, and generate clear reports. Included with Green Tourism membership.

  • The Carbon Tracker has been independently validated by Control Union against ISO 14064-3 requirements
  • One of the first tourism and hospitality carbon trackers in the world to achieve this validation
  • Track progress over time
  • Compare individual sites and group totals

Credibility you can put to work

Independent certification gives substance to your sustainability commitments. It provides credible evidence for customers, partners, procurement teams and stakeholders, along with a recognised certification mark for your marketing and communications.

Eligible certified businesses may also benefit from visibility through sustainability filters on participating online travel agencies, helping customers find independently assessed accommodation.

Support that continues

Membership support continues after the audit. You will have ongoing access to specialist webinars, practical guidance and resources covering relevant sustainability issues and opportunities.

The Members’ Marketing Playbook helps you communicate your certification clearly and confidently, online and offline. Further guidance helps your team respond to changing expectations, strengthen performance and keep improving.
