GSTC-Certified Trentino

What It Means to Be a GSTC-Certified Accommodation

GSTC-certified facilities commit to a rigorous journey of continuous improvement — it’s not enough to “do well today”, but to look ahead. Their main commitments include:

• Efficient and ethical management of corporate governance
• Reduction and control of resource consumption (energy, water, waste)
• Minimizing environmental impact across all activities
• Engagement with local communities and cultural heritage
• Inclusive hospitality and respect for human rights
• Transparent communication and impact reporting

Certification is not a static achievement but a driving force that encourages both the facility and the destination to evolve toward ever more virtuous practices.

The Context: A Sustainable Tourism District

Certified structures do not act in isolation.
Trentino’s overall project envisions the creation of a sustainable tourism district, integrating territories, operators, and communities through shared sustainability strategies — strengthening skills and the exchange of best practices.
