The Malta Tourism Authority endorses GSTC, Green Key and the EU Ecolabel as key certifications for promoting environmental, socioeconomic and cultural sustainability in hotels, guest houses and other tourist accommodations across the Maltese Islands. These internationally recognized standards ensure responsible tourism practices that benefit both visitors and the local community.
Eco-certification is ideal for tourism accommodation establishments aiming to reduce environmental impact, lower operational costs, enhance corporate social responsibility, improve their image and attract environmentally conscious travellers. The scheme offers direct benefits, such as lower energy and water consumption, waste reduction, decreased purchasing costs and increased profitability.
Eco-certified hotels foster environmental awareness among guests and employees, encouraging sustainable practices both during their stay and in their daily lives.
Accommodation providers seeking certification or further details on the scheme are encouraged to contact the Quality Assured Unit via email at [email protected] or by calling +356 2291 5701.
