The Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism - GSST

The key strategic goal of the project is to introduce and implement sustainability models into Slovenian tourism sector, since developing sustainable tourism is the only way forward if we are to preserve the most beautiful corners of our planet. The Green Scheme was developed to offer destinations and tourism businesses a concrete tool for assessing and improving their sustainability performance. Joining the Scheme provides members with benefits at the level of professional assistance in developing sustainable tourism and at the level of promotion. The Scheme is based on globally established criteria - destinations are assessed according to the Green Destinations Standard, recognized by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, while providers must obtain one of the international certificates recognized by the Scheme.

The Factory of Sustainable Tourism Goodplace is accredited by the Slovenian Tourist Board (owner and manager of the scheme) as the project partner of the Green Scheme. As the authors of the Scheme and holders of Green Destinations Standard assessment license, we carry out workshops, train sustainability coordinators, and assist in introducing sustainability certificates into businesses.
The scheme works as a quality certificate used to indicate the fulfilment of a wide range of requirements related to sustainable tourism. The main beneficiaries are destinations, protected areas and businesses (accommodations, restaurants, travel agencies, attractions).
