Lodging CST
Sustainability seeks a balanced interaction between three essential aspects within the tourism industry: appropriate administration of natural and cultural resources, improvement of the quality of life of neighboring communities, and economic success which contributes to other national development programs.
The Costa Rica Tourism Institute (ICT) developed the Sustainability Certification program (CST) for tourist enterprises in order to categorize and distinguish those Costa Rican hotels that demonstrate sustainability within their operations, with respect to the management of natural, cultural, and social resources.
