Hotels achieve sustainability certification, November 26, 2007
The hotels Arenal Springs, located in La Fortuna de San Carlos, and Best Western Jaco Beach obtained the Tourism Sustainability Certificate (CST).
The document was issued as an award for the efforts made by both tourist complexes in order to improve efficiency in electrical energy usage.
This certificate represents a useful tool to measure the companies’ commitment towards community and environment. The objective of the plan is to guarantee the sustainability of the country’s tourist activity. The program was created by the Costa Rica Tourism Board in 1999.
Currently, there are 92 companies in the country awarded with CST, and those who seek to achieve the tourist sustainability seal must comply with 108 parameters. The degree of requirements compliance is measured in levels from 1 to 5.
