Ecotourism Kenya's Eco-rating scheme
Ecotourism Kenya manages a scheme that certifies tourist accommodation facilities in Kenya.
The Eco-rating Scheme, as the scheme is called, is an initiative of the Kenyan tourism industry that is designed to further the goals of sustainable tourism by recognizing efforts aimed at promoting environmental, social and economic values. Eco-rating is a systematic approach for verifying a tourism organizations performance when evaluated against an agreed suite of criteria.
The scheme is voluntary; any hotel, lodge, camp, bush home or banda can participate. Being awarded a label under the scheme is confirmation that the facility has invested time, money and other resources in betterment of the environment, resource use and the welfare of local communities.
To participate, facilities undertake a self-assessment by completing the questionnaire and returning it with all supporting documents to the scheme secretariat at Ecotourism Kenya. The secretariat then undertakes preliminary evaluation of the questionnaire to ensure that all requirements for application have been met. It then convenes a meeting of the eco-rating committee (an independent evaluation team), who review the applications to verify compliance with criteria and make recommendations for certification as necessary. This committee has representation from a broad cross-section of institutions, both private and public as well as leading personalities in conservation and tourism. This committee is re-constituted every two years.
Specific information on the Eco-rated facilities is available at the homepage of this website, www.ecotourismkenya.org
