Green Destinations
Non-profit foundation for sustainable destination development, recognition, and globally accredited certification. With the support of our global partnership of representatives, expert organisations and academic institutions we lead destinations towards sustainable tourism. Green Destinations Statement on Peace, Freedom and Justice Green Destinations believes that peace, universal human rights and social and environmental justice are fundamental pillars of sustainable tourism. Violation of these values are prohibitive for tourism sustainability. Green Destinations wishes to guarantee that all destinations and businesses that are in Green Destinations-related certification and support programs respect these fundamental values. Therefore, Green Destinations will deny, suspend or terminate any cooperation with tourism entities that are supporting, owned by or directly linked to governments who are responsible for foreign military occupation and the violation of human rights and environmental destruction.
