Green Key aims to change the practices and behaviors of tourism stakeholders, including guests, businesses, governments and communities, in a sustainable direction. This is done by raising awareness among both employees and guests, by promoting sustainable routines and use of technology, by supporting environmentally friendly and responsible businesses, reducing energy use and resource consumption.

As a guest at a Green Key certified establishment, you can be sure that the property has gone to great lengths to ensure that your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, without compromising the environment. Guests are also encouraged to make environmentally friendly choices, for example by offering waste sorting, organically produced food, encouraging guests to reuse towels, etc.
