Sustainable Tourism Certification Network of the Americas
The mission of this Network is to promote sustainable tourism
in the region through the strengthening of tourism initiatives
based on mutual respect and recognition, joint efforts,
harmonization (balancing) of systems and the sharing of
information and experience.
Network objectives include the establishment of common
work tools among network members and a joint marketing
strategy, the generation of a set of "best management
practices" for sustainable tourism based on existing regionally
and nationally accepted standards, and the definition of
strategies to promote the participation of tourism operations,
focused on small-scale operations, to implement best practices
and certification processes.
The network is the point of reference for all sustainable
tourism certification in the Americas. Its initiatives are known
within the market, have credibility and create conservation
benefits for local communities while generating competition

What is responsible travel?
Responsible travel is travel with a purpose. When choosing
destinations, accommodations and tour operators, consider which
ones work to protect the environment and benefit local cultures and
communities.
By choosing responsible travel, you can have the fabulous vacation
that you've dreamed of, while ensuring that your dollars are
benefiting the environment and the local people at your destination.
Who travels responsibly?
Anyone can be a responsible traveler!. You can get back to nature,
or bathe in luxury…hike into the rainforest, or explore the
city…stay close to home, or travel to the exotic location of your
dreams. Responsible travel provides many options, and it is often
very affordable.
What is certification?
Have you heard of the AAA or 5-star rating systems? These longstanding labels judge hotel quality and services. Over the last
decade, many “green” certification programs have been created.
These use independent auditors to rate the environmental and social
impacts of hotels (or other tourism businesses). They help travelers
to make responsible choices. A growing number of companies have
earned eco-labels. We encourage you to patronize those that have.

Grande Sport Villa Golf Resort & Spa
Sandals Resorts has announced plans that it will merge two of its resorts
– Sandals Ocho Rios and Grande Sport Villa Golf Resort & Spa– to create
a brand new resort experience, the 522-room Sandals Grande Ocho Rios
Beach & Villa Resort. Scheduled to open in December, this will become
the most expansive resort in the group.
“The fusion of the two resorts is a direct response to market demands.
The “Garden of Eden” ambience has been widely received at Sandals
Ocho Rios, operating at almost 100 percent year-round occupancy. By
combining Grande Sport’s 50 acres of lush surroundings, romantic private
villas and 90 pools, we can build an even larger paradise while offering a
tremendous amount of diversity for our guests,” said Gordon Butch
Stewart, chairman of Sandals and Beaches Resorts.

Hedonism III
Tucked away on Jamaica’s sultry North Coast, Hedonism III enters the
millennium with everything that made Hedonism II the world’s most
notorious resort - and more! You’ll find swim-up rooms, a Roman tub in

Hedonism III, you’ll find that famous uninhibited spirit where just about
anything goes. For couples and singles 18 yrs. & over.

pleasure principle to new extremes. Quaint, Victorian architecture and
soft pasphones conceal a sinister soul, like a black teddy under a
housecoat. A few days here are more than enough to make up for a
lifetime of ordinary vacations. Of course, when things like a water slide
through the disco and a pool table actually in the pool start to seem
“normal”, well it may just be time to go home.

Sandals Dunn’s River Golf Resort & Spa
Sandals Inn
Inspired by the great Italian Renaissance period...and named after the
world-famous waterfall located minutes away...this breathtaking resort
combines Mediterranean elegance with Jamaican charm, creating
Caribbean luxury on a grand scale. From a stunning lobby with soaring
columns and winding staircase reminiscent of an Italian palazzo...to the
rippling waters of Jamaica’s largest freshwater pool, highlighted by a
cascading waterfall that mirrors the image of its famous namesake.
Only five minutes from Sangster International Airport and 10 minutes
from neighboring Sandals Montego Bay and Sandals Royal Caribbean,
Sandals Inn may be our smallest resort, but it’s big on warmth and charm.
This intimate hideaway for two includes true room service and is home to
2 gourmet restaurants. Full exchange privileges at our 2 other Montego
Bay resorts means 9 more gourmet restaurants to choose from. No other
resort of this size offers so much.
Compact, intimate, and tranquil, this resort attracts guests looking for less
activities and more relaxation. The resort location is another draw as it is
walking-distance access to Montego Bay’s Hip Strip shopping and
nightlife. (Guests must be couples at least 18 years of age.)

as the sun and as free as the sea - and the only rule to follow is to do
whatever you please, as often as you want. Arrayed over 26 acres of

for being alone together. (Guests must be couples at least 18 years of age.)

Sandals Grande Ocho Rios Beach & Villa Resort
Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort & Offshore Island
Considered the true Garden of Eden, every modern-day Adam and Eve
can indulge in a variety of temptations without paying the price.
Reminiscent of a quaint Mediterranean village, Sandals Grande Ocho
Rios Beach & Villa Resort is nestled between the lush St. Ann mountains
and the Caribbean Sea. You’ll discover a veritable Eden of your own,
where the air is fragrant with jasmine and the tropical gardens are
overflowing. This is a private sanctuary that’s not only enchanting but
breathtakingly beautiful.
In a class by itself, Sandals Royal Caribbean is renowned throughout the
Caribbean for its refinements and British traditions of a bygone era such
as high tea and continental breakfast in bed. And just offshore, Sandals’
own exotic private island features a pool with a swim-up bar, a secluded
private beach and an authentic Thai restaurant where some of the dishes
are rumored to be aphrodisiacs. You’ll be treated to legendary “Royal
Touch Service” at four gourmet restaurants and five bars while enjoying
full exchange privileges at the neighboring Sandals Montego Bay and
Sandals Inn, thus giving you a choice of 11 world-class dining
experiences.
Occupying former botanical gardens, the resort features tall, dense
tropical foliage, lily ponds, and gentle waterfalls that contribute to a
tranquil ambience. Mangoes, Jamaican apples, grapefruit, and oranges are
free for the picking, as honeymooners and other romantic couples enjoy
rest and relaxation as well as group activities. (Guests must be couples at
least 18 years of age.)
Because it comprises only 15 acres and features low-rise buildings, this
resort tends to attract more middle aged couples than larger Sandals
resorts. (Guests must be couples at least 18 years of age.) Cannons and
classical statues outside announce the resort’s British Colonial style,
which also includes elaborate lattice and pastel fretwork throughout.
Guests are seated for check-in and given champagne.
