I’m considering an “Eco/Geen” tour, but they are not certified. What does this mean?
The certification fees for STAH are very low and the process is very inclusive, so it might be a red flag about greenwashing if the “eco” tour you are considering is not certified.
The most current list of certified tour operators can be found on the Travel Pono page.
Of course, plenty of great companies out there exist who do offer legitimately “eco” friendly options and if you think you’ve found one, you should encourage them get certified and join the community of tour operators committed to responsible travel.
