The Tourism Sustainability Strategy was launched in 2022 and sets out actionable strategies for the tourism industry so that Singapore can become a sustainable urban destination.</p><p>Singapore’s certification follows similar achievements by other tourism partners such as Sentosa Development Corporation, <a href="https://www.gstcouncil.org/resorts-world-sentosa-joins-gstc/">Resorts World Sentosa,</a> and <a href="https://www.gstcouncil.org/marina-bay-sands-becomes-certified-gstc-industry-criteria/">Marina Bay Sands Singapore</a>, which had also achieved certification based on the relevant GSTC Criteria and are <a href="https://www.gstcouncil.org/become-a-gstc-member/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GSTC Members.</a></p><p><strong>Mr. Keith Tan, Chief Executive, Singapore Tourism Board (STB),</strong> said: <em>“We are proud to receive this certification, which reflects Singapore’s commitment to the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and becoming a City in Nature, where large experiences come with a small footprint. Being certified is just the beginning of our journey. Tourism businesses must do more to internalize sustainability as part of their offerings, so that they can contribute to making Singapore greener and more liveable. Our vision is to become one of the world’s most sustainable urban destinations and we now know we are on the right track.”</em></p><p><strong>Mr. Randy Durband, Chief Executive Officer, Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC)</strong> said, <em>“The commitment from Singapore’s tourism sector to support their national Singapore Green Plan 2030 is apparent based on their holistic approach to sustainable tourism. We see first-hand some of their efforts to engage key subsectors of tourism in meaningful ways. Gaining destination certification requires that level of commitment and holistic approach. We commend them and are pleased to support their efforts for continuous improvement.”</em></p><p><a href="https://www.stb.gov.sg/content/stb/en/media-centre/media-releases/Singapore-achieves-global-destination-sustainability-certification.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here</a> to read the full Press Release and learn more about Singapore’s Sustainability Management.</p><h3>About the GSTC</h3><p>The Global Sustainable Tourism Council® (GSTC®) establishes and manages global sustainable standards, known as the GSTC Criteria. There are two sets: <a href="https://www.gstcouncil.org/gstc-criteria/gstc-destination-criteria/">Destination Criteria</a> for public policy-makers and destination managers, and <a href="https://www.gstcouncil.org/gstc-criteria/gstc-industry-criteria/">Industry Criteria</a> for hotels and tour operators. These are the guiding principles and minimum requirements that any tourism business or destination should aspire to reach in order to protect and sustain the world’s natural and cultural resources, while ensuring tourism meets its potential as a tool for conservation and poverty alleviation.</p><p>The GSTC Criteria form the foundation for Accreditation of Certification Bodies that certify hotels/accommodations, tour operators, and destinations as having sustainable policies and practices in place. GSTC does not directly certify any products or services; GSTC provides an accreditation program through its partner Assurance Services International to accredit Certification Bodies. The GSTC is an independent and neutral USA-registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization that represents a <a href="https://www.gstcouncil.org/membership/member-search/">diverse and global membership</a>, including national and provincial governments, leading travel companies, hotels, tour operators, NGO’s, individuals and communities – all striving to achieve best practices in sustainable tourism.</p><p>Information for media and the press: <a href="https://www.gstcouncil.org/about/for-the-press/">www.gstcouncil.org/about/for-the-press</a></p><h3>About Singapore Tourism Board (STB)</h3><p>The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) is the lead development agency for tourism, one of Singapore’s key economic sectors. Together with industry partners and the community, we shape a dynamic Singapore tourism landscape. We bring the Passion Made Possible brand to life by differentiating Singapore as a vibrant destination that inspires people to share and deepen their passions.</p><p>More: <a
