Canada is a big country, full of unique experiences and places for you to explore. Stretching from the Pacific to the Atlantic and deep into the Arctic, Canada is the second largest country in the world. Renowned worldwide for its vast and spectacular landscape, its unique blend of cultures and multifaceted history, Canada is a major tourist destination and one of the world's wealthiest countries.

Nearly four times the size of the UK, and rich in natural resources, British Columbia (BC) is known for its spectacular scenery and recreational attractions. To maintain their beautiful environment and outstanding natural and cultural resources, it is important that they minimize their impact, build awareness, and maximize the conservation of BC’s great tourism assets and help educate visitors to do the same.

It is for this reason that several forward-thinking operators in BC’s tourism industry have adopted our Green Tourism certification program to provide them a roadmap to operating their tourism businesses more sustainably, so that we may all enjoy for years to come, the Super Natural BC brand that we know and love today.

31 businesses from across the 6 tourism regions in BC, were assessed on-site by one of our senior green tourism assessors and each was scored against a rigorous set of sustainability indicators to determine if their performance had achieved a certification award level.

Green Tourism Canada, a new division of Green Tourism UK, is excited to introduce you to the first 26 operators in BC to be certified by Green Tourism Canada. We look forward to announcing more green certified operators in the months ahead.
