Вярваме, че чрез партньорства ще постигнем по-голямо въздействие.
През годините ни на работа за сертификация на устойчив туризъм, разработихме стратегически съюзи с други водещи организации за устойчивост, изследователски организации, други сертификационни и изключителни платформи за устойчив туристически бизнес. Това включва:
Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) управлява GSTC Criteria, глобални стандарти за устойчиви пътувания и туризъм, и предоставя международна акредитация за сертификационни органи за устойчив туризъм. GSTC е организация с нестопанска цел, която представлява разнообразно и глобално членство, включително национални и местни правителства, водещи туристически компании, хотели, туроператори, неправителствени организации, физически лица и общности – всички, които се стремят да постигнат най-добрите практики в устойчивия туризъм. Preferred by Nature е активен член на GSTC и ние разработихме наши собствени стандарти за сертифициране на устойчив туризъм на места за настаняване и туроператори в съответствие с GSTC Industry Criteria. Това усилие позволи на Preferred by Nature да постигне официално признаване на GSTC за нашите туристически стандарти.
