The BC Hotel Association has announced its partnership with two international organizations– Biosphere Tourism and the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance.
The collaboration will develop resources and tools that support the tourism industry, and measure and monitor environmental impact.
Biosphere Tourism has a sustainability-related certification program that hotels and other accommodations can achieve in order to market themselves to attract sustainability-conscious customers. The BCHA also announced that it has obtained the Biosphere Tourism certification.
"The BCHA has wholeheartedly supported B.C.'s accommodation community in becoming leaders in establishing a net positive hospitality sector that will support our provincial climate-action goals through our GoGreen Program, and we are thrilled to unveil our sustainability playbook which builds upon that important work,” says BCHA CEO Ingrid Jarrett.
