获得认证当可持续
酒店/住宿
越来越多的用户，普通游客，以及其他从事旅游行业的供应商的顾客们都希望可持续旅游在实践中是真实存在的。（《Booking.com可持续旅游报告2019》）。
此外，旅游行业不仅希望自己的产品是经过可持续旅游认证的，并且还希望提供认证的认证机构是GSTC认可的（Trivago推荐）。
由可信的经过认可的认证机构认证意味着您的旅游商品或服务符合市场上最严格的社会与环境标准。随着公众对旅游可能产生的正面和负面影响的关注日益增加,认证也会为您应对复杂的环境及社会问题提供了一个可靠的解决方案。
旅行社应该自豪地展示其获得的可持续认证以及关于认证机构的相关信息。获得这样的认证意味着您可以告知所有的利益相关方——从顾客到您的供应链伙伴——您的经营管理是可靠的，并且您的管理和经营思路不是短视的，是面向未来的。经过认证的旅行社可以使用GSTC的标志以及认证机构的标志来证明您经过了可持续旅游的认证和审查。
如何获得认证
如果需要获得认证，旅游公司和旅游目的地必须：
1.从下面列表中选择一个认证机构（CB）这些机构是根据其GSTC认可的认证机构，他们的认证过程质量是符合要求的。
2. 您与您选择的认证机构（CB）合作，确保您的运营完全符合GSTC标准后，您的机构/目的地将获得经过GSTC认可的认证机构颁发的认证证书。
下面列表中的认证机构经过GSTC认可，有资格认证可持续酒店。因此，这些认证机构及其颁发的认证证书的持有人有权展示指定的GSTC标志（使用必须符合GSTC的logo授权协议要求）。
需要注意的是：GSTC不直接进行任何认证服务。GSTC通过认证流程合作伙伴ASI（国际保证服务）去认可可以提供认证服务的机构提供，并由认证机构来提供认证服务。认证(Certification)和认可（Accreditation）是不同的概念和范围。

备注：
- 已被认可的认证机构和正在申请认可的认证机构，应就GSTC认可指南中列明的与认证要求相关的GSTC政策获得GSTC的咨询。
- 根据获得GSTC认可的标准进行认证，并不一定表示这个认证机构作为认证机构本身获得了GSTC的认可。“GSTC认可的标准”是指对一套已发布的标准对内容的认可，而不代表对认证机构的认证过程的认可。但是，这里要注意的是，经GSTC认可的认证机构可以选择直接使用GSTC的标准进行认证，或者选择自己经过GSTC认可的标准作为基准进行认证。
