• They have also created a Unique Green Rating Algorithm that searches & filters all green hotels based on their certified and verified green practices, assuring that green hotels certified by the highest quality eco-labels are given the highest priority to travelers.

• GHW systemized the standards introduced by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) to determine its green practices categorization. The GSTC serves as the international body for establishing and managing standards for sustainable tourism and is recognized as the accreditation body for green hotel certification labels.
