FAQ
What is the SustainAble™ by GME, Program for GSTC Certification Preparation?
SustainAble™ by GME is a sustainability program designed to help tourism businesses prepare for certification aligned with the standards of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). Recognized by GSTC, the program guides companies through the process of implementing responsible practices, meeting global sustainability criteria, and building the systems needed to achieve certification and demonstrate their commitment to sustainable tourism.
Why should my company get certified?
Certification demonstrates your commitment to sustainability, increasing credibility with customers, partners, and stakeholders. It shows that your business aligns with the internationally recognized standards of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) and follows global best practices.
It can also strengthen your market positioning, build trust, and open new opportunities for partnerships, funding, and collaboration within the sustainable tourism sector.
Who can apply for the SustainAble™ by GME program?
Any tourism-related business, including hotels, tour operators, and destinations, can apply as long as they commit to meeting the sustainability criteria.
How does the verification process work?
As you complete each sustainability criterion, you can submit it for review. Our team will evaluate your submissions step by step, providing feedback when necessary.
What happens if a submitted task is not approved?
If a task doesn’t meet the criteria, you’ll receive feedback on what needs improvement. You can update and resubmit it for review.
How long does it take to get certified and what do you get?
The timeline depends on your current sustainability practices and how quickly new measures are implemented. Many businesses complete the process in 12–18 months, while others may take longer depending on their starting point.
The process begins with gathering operational data to establish a baseline year, which allows your business to measure its carbon footprint and understand its environmental impact. From there, the program helps train and align your team on sustainability, integrate responsible practices into daily operations, and organize your documentation.
Through the program, you also gain access to the GME Platform, where all sustainability actions, data, and progress are centralized. This makes it easier to track improvements, manage your sustainability strategy, and prepare the documentation required to meet the standards of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).
