Novaturas, a tour operator in the Baltic states, has introduced an option allowing customers to select accommodations based on sustainability labelling.
This initiative allows travellers to choose accommodations that operate responsibly and effectively manage their environmental and social impacts.
These hotels are marked with a ‘sustainable choice’ label on Novaturas’ updated website.
These are labelled and certified by third-party systems recognised by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council.
Over a third of Novaturas’ hotels across Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia now carry this label, with plans to expand the selection in the future.
Novaturas plans to include more than 950 sustainable accommodation options in its portfolio for the 2023–24 winter (November to March) and 2024 summer (June to September) seasons.
