What they have to say
“Sunshine Coast Tourism is pleased to partner with GreenStep in pursuing certifications for our two visitor information centres in Sechelt and in Gibsons. As a DMO, we have been working with tourism industry partners for a number of years now to encourage them to transition to sustainability focused operations, and ensuring we were helping educate our visitors on what it means to be a responsible, sustainability-minded travel when visiting the Sunshine Coast. Incorporating our visitor information centres themselves into this operation was a natural extension of this work and to lead by example. We can now show our industry partners and our visitors that we are ‘walking the walk’ when it comes to sustainability!” – Annie Wise, Executive Director, Sunshine Coast Tourism
“RTO4 is happy to have had GreenStep as a partner as it looks to realize the integration of more sustainable tourism practices within its region and Ontario as a whole. The process has been one of continued learning, and being in a unique position as an RTO GreenStep was extremely open and willing to listen and work with us about our needs and wants when it came to the action planning process, and truly understanding RTO4 as an organization. It’s quite a milestone to achieve certification, but recognize that this is just a small step in a larger journey of tourism’s evolution as a catalyst for more prosperous peoples and communities.” – Andrea Gardi, Executive Director, Regional Tourism Office for Huron, Perth, Waterloo and Wellington
“Achieving the GreenStep Sustainable Tourism Destination Certification is an important milestone for our regional destination. Our team has been working closely with GreenStep on a number of important destination stewardship initiatives since 2018, including the development of a Sustainability Charter and action plan and the delivery of several programs for our stakeholders. The Certification is based on rigorous international standards, and we are very proud to be the first destination certified and hope many more will follow suit and contribute in making BC and Canada world leaders in sustainable tourism” – Kathy Cooper, CEO, Kootenay Rockies Tourism
“Working with GreenStep not only provided a long-term ROI, but also helped to begin a culture shift to one where sustainability and efficiency was an important part of the decision-making process.” – Rob Cinkant, Former President, BC Region, Sysco
