Giving you the tools to be Responsible, the support to be Ethical and the power to be Sustainable
An independent accreditation awarded to businesses who can demonstrate their commitment to Responsible, Ethical and Sustainable Tourism. Backed by a robust assessment, REST looks for meaningful change in each core pillar rooted in legislation and industry best practices.
The world needs action if we are to meet ambitious climate goals set out in legislation by 2035. The industry is demonstrating a clear commitment and businesses who are facing this change head-on are preparing themselves to be more resilient and to strive in a new zero economy.
Professional Recognition
Whilst net zero is a huge global goal, we must remember this is operating in a much wider context.
The REST marque assures guests that your accommodation demonstrates not only a commitment to environmental sustainability but to your staff, suppliers and local community. Although the criteria are objective, they are also intrinsically designed to adapt to your business footprint, and to reflect how you operate as a business, against market norms.
Cost Savings & Discounts
Being more sustainable and ethical in business can significantly reduce costs and overheads, reducing everything from energy and utility bills to landfill taxes and cleaning costs.
We are continually developing relationships with affinity partners, identifying businesses who uphold the same sustainable standards and creating a network for partner introductions for mutual benefit.
The REST scoring mechanism allows businesses to achieve one of 3 rating levels: Green, Silver and Gold.
