Seychelles Sustainable Tourism Label (SSTL) certificates are presented to hotels after they are found to be integrating sustainability practices in their business operation.
Applicable to hotels of all sizes, the SSTL is a voluntary sustainable tourism management and certification program, designed to encourage more efficient and sustainable ways of doing business.
To date, 15 hotels have obtained the certification.
