Introduction
Certification of sustainable tourism and ecotourism can help to reduce the negative environmental and social impacts of tourism, ensure that the tourism industry is held accountable and provide marketing benefits to those firms that meet the certification standards. In recent years there have been several projects aiming to set international standards for sustainable tourism and ecotourism. Other chapters in this book reflect on European experiences, by far the most advanced region in setting sustainable tourism standards and certification programs. This chapter discusses the feasibility to set international sustainable tourism standards from the experience of writing the Sustainable Tourism Stewardship Council (STSC) proposals. First, it will review the challenges faced in internationalising tourism certification and standard setting, with comparisons between the European and global context, in order to develop a rationale for international initiatives in this sphere and how these have been taken into account in writing the proposals for an STSC. Second, it will outline the outcomes from the feasibility study, by reviewing the areas of consensus and the desired activities of a global body that both markets companies meeting standards as well as sets standards and supports certification programmes to meet those standards. Third, this chapter outlines the stepped approach taken to move towards this objective. Because of the concerns raised through the consultation, the proposals were to work towards a stepped implementation aiming for consensus, information sharing and skills transfer, that would gradually introduce further benefits as well as expectations of quality, until these were requirements. The chapter will be of interest to organisations working to set locally applicable standards that at the same time consider the international operating environment.
