For Destinations

We evaluate destination sustainability performance and provide globally recognised programmes that support continuous improvement, credibility, and market access for destinations at all levels.

Support Program

We offer our partners a pioneering, sustainability-driven approach, delivering a thorough assessment of their destination management or business before working alongside them to build and implement a sustainable tourism model.

Good Travel Alliance

The Good Travel Alliance supports member destinations in developing an on-the-ground economic model for sustainable tourism by promoting and selling low-impact tourism experiences to travellers.

For Businesses

We assess, support, and recognise the sustainability practices of travel and tourism businesses through practical tools, guidance, and certification programmes.

Good Travel Scan

The Good Travel Scan encourages medium and small family-run enterprises (SMEs) that have no previous knowledge or experience in sustainability management to take a first step in the right direction.

Good Travel Seal

The Good Travel Seal is more than just a certification, it is a sustainability management program for all tourism and travel related businesses and facilities, designed to be feasible and affordable especially for SMEs. 

The Good Travel Experience Guide

The Good Travel Experiences (GTE) Guide is a curated showcase of high-quality, low-impact experiences within your destination — carefully selected and structured by the Good Travel Alliance.

Each Good Travel Experience is evaluated through a clear and recognised framework, ensuring measurable social, cultural, environmental, and economic benefits for local communities. From guided nature activities and cultural encounters to workshops and community-based initiatives, the Guide highlights experiences that truly make a difference.

The GTE Guide is more than a promotional tool. It is a strategic instrument to:

Structure and strengthen your sustainable tourism offer

Increase visibility and international positioning

Support local experience providers with recognition and credibility

Attract responsible travellers and aligned tour operators
