The Bloomberg article says:
When Costa Rica began its Certification for Sustainable Tourism (CST) program in 1998, it was a world’s first. Today its Earth-friendly hotels have rippled into something of a global standard. And now they’re raising the bar higher. A massive overhaul of CST criteria planned for 2021 will inspire hoteliers to raise the bar higher and acknowledge those who already have.
Take your pick of these new five-star openings: Origins Lodge, a jungle hideaway with treetop villas; Nayara Tented Camp, a glamorous, safari-style resort surrounded by a sloth sanctuary; or Kasiiya Papagayo, which holds just seven suites on 123 beachfront acres. All have been built with low- or no-impact construction methods.
Meanwhile, the government released a carbon footprint calculator last November to encourage tourism offsets. It’s also moving to protect 30% of its land under official conservation programs and encouraging other countries to do the same.
