The Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Criteria were created to provide a common understanding throughout the world of "sustainable tourism", and are the minimum that any tourism business should aspire to reach. They are organized around four main themes: effective sustainability planning, maximizing social and economic benefits for the local community, enhancing cultural heritage, and reducing negative impacts to the environment. They have applicability to the entire tourism industry.
