FINISTERRA EARNS BRONZE GOOD TRAVEL SEAL FROM GREEN DESTINATIONS

    Finisterra Travel Earns Bronze Good Travel Seal from Green Destinations

    Finisterra Travel has proudly received the Bronze Good Travel Seal from Green Destinations, recognizing our commitment to responsible and sustainable travel. This certification, known as Good Travel Seal Level 1, is awarded to businesses that demonstrate strong environmental and social responsibility while providing exceptional travel experiences.

    The Good Travel Seal is an internationally recognized program that helps tourism businesses measure and improve their sustainability performance. Level 1 certification is designed to be accessible for businesses of all sizes, particularly micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). It combines the Good Travel Scan criteria with Travalyst sustainability actions—developed by major travel platforms such as Booking.com, Expedia, Google, and TripAdvisor—ensuring that certified companies meet practical and verifiable standards in areas like community impact, waste reduction, energy use, and ethical business practices.

    Earning the Bronze Seal is a meaningful milestone for Finisterra Travel. It reflects the ongoing dedication of co-owners Keri Montgomery and Nicola Wilson in creating transformative journeys that respect local cultures, protect natural environments, and promote positive global connections. As Finisterra continues to evolve, this certification underscores our belief that travel can — and should — be a force for good. These commitments are reviewed by an independent expert every two years.

    The Good Travel Guide, part of the Green Destinations Foundation, is an international organization that promotes sustainable tourism and recognizes businesses that prioritize people, planet, and place. Their mission is to support destinations and travel companies in making measurable improvements toward sustainability, transparency, and authenticity.

    By highlighting responsible businesses and destinations around the world, the Good Travel Guide empowers travellers to make informed choices and support organizations that care about the communities and environments they visit. Through initiatives like the Good Travel Seal, they’re helping transform the tourism industry into one that values long-term well-being over short-term gain — something Finisterra Travel is proud to be part of.
