The Safer Tourism Seal (STS) builds on established certifications through evaluations and endorsements. The seal provides additional assurances when traveling during these uncertain times. STS helps destinations and its stakeholders through a standardized multi-point checklist.
Our task is to raise awareness, encouragement, and evaluation.
The STS seal builds travelers’ confidence for preferred destinations and becomes a recognizable symbol throughout the world during these precarious times. STP holders represent the best in travel and demonstrate to the world, that safer travel is everyone’s responsibility.
The Safer Tourism Hall of International Tourism Heroes is open by nomination only and as a recognition. Tourism Heroes have shown extraordinary leadership, innovation, and actions. They go the extra step.
The Annual Tourism Hero of the Year Award is presented to selected members of the Hall of International Tourism Heroes.
