What is the Guidebook for the Certification Process?
The Guidebook is component of the certification process. It serves as a document where property owners demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and local engagement by including information required by the certification criteria.
The guidebook is reviewed during the audit to ensure that your property provides valuable information that promotes sustainability and supports the local community.
As part of the certification process, your guidebook should include the following:
List of locally sourced food stores: Include shops that sell locally produced goods, supporting regional farmers and reducing the environmental footprint.
List of vegetarian restaurants: Provide a list of nearby restaurants that offer vegetarian options, promoting sustainable food choices.
List of organic food restaurants: Include restaurants that serve organic, sustainably sourced meals.
List of local volunteering work: Highlight opportunities for guests to get involved in local volunteering initiatives, encouraging engagement with the local community.
List of local heritage sites: Provide a list of culturally significant locations that help preserve local history and heritage.
List of off-the-beaten-path sites: Share recommendations for unique, lesser-known attractions that offer a more authentic local experience.
List of local EV-charging stations: Include nearby charging stations to support electric vehicle users and promote eco-friendly transportation.
List of nearby water refill stations: Share locations where guests can refill their water bottles, reducing the need for single-use plastics.
By including this information in your guidebook, you help demonstrate your property’s alignment with sustainability principles, which is a key factor in achieving certification.
