Sustainable Tourism Information

The STAR programme

  • involves making sustainability simple and practical so tourism operators can make positive changes that show early results on your bottom line
  • provides tailor-made recommendations and an action plan, with practical tools and expert advice

  • is designed for any size business and is heavily subsidised by the Ministry of Tourism

What’s in it for You?
