Sustainable choice

Swisstainable is Switzerland’s tourism sustainability programme. It focuses on the development of businesses and destinations across various areas of sustainability. It also highlights businesses and destinations that meet the programme’s requirements and continue to improve through concrete measures. Swisstainable is not a standalone sustainability certification.

Participation in the sustainability programme is open to all tourism businesses and organisations in Switzerland. To reflect different starting points and levels of commitment, the programme is divided into three levels.
