Record and Edit Your Destination Data as a Team, Over Time

Sustainable Tourism is a Team Effort

Unlike many sustainability related assessments which require someone on a team to do most of the work, the blue community assessment app is meant to be edited as a team. Every team inside the blue community assessment is notated by a color that color team associate you with all of the data for your destinations. A team manager can easily assign different sections of the assessment to different people in the team depending on their expertise. This way team members will only have between five and 10 questions to keep track of overtime. Having the most current data is paramount to setting goals for your Blue Community. 

As the data becomes converted into graphs inside the Destination Dashboard, all representation of change over time will become exciting for your team, especially when the data proves the achievement of a goal.

How Destination Teams Work

We take the ability to edit data for a destination quite seriously. For this reason users of the assessment app will login with an email address that is associated with their team. By logging in as a team member associated with the team, you are able to easily edit sustainability data across all of the metrics without distractions. All data that is edited and submitted through the assessment app is reflected in real time to the Blue communities dashboard for stakeholders. One of the features that makes the blue community assessment much different than anything else like it is the focus on accountability and transparency. For this reason every edit made overtime to data related to a destination is archived and blocked chain for review at a later date if needed. 

By providing data in this transparent manner you will gain the trust of the stakeholders through the process of setting goals proclaiming actions and meeting those goals over time.

The assessment includes all of the questions that are that are part of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) destination criteria. With those particularly questions there is a link to the specific GSTC criteria and examples of the kind of evidence you might provide in your descriptions, attachments, or website url links. In some cases the assessment asks for data. In those cases it is followed by a request for the source of your data. A source may be a website url link or the name title and contact info for the source of the data. All questions in the assessment need to be answered before proceeding to the next step of completing the online sustainability management plan.
