Features of Sustainability Assessment for Destinations

Every destination inside the app has a dedicated team for making edits to metrics. You can add members to your team for any metric group. With an in-app dashboard, you can track the progress of your sustainability efforts for your destination, anytime, anywhere. You'll find the entire Global Sustainable Tourism Council Criteria integrated into the Assessment App in addition to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Each question in the assessment is cross referenced with the related 12 Blue Community Strategies, the UN SDGs and the GSTC Criteria which specifically represents the subject matter.

Track Your Sustainability Efforts & Progress From Now until Forever:

Establish a baseline for your community by completing a series of questions, based on themes in sustainability. The Blue Community Assessment app allows the work of data collection, entry and update to be distributed across a team. All destinations are assigned a team color. When assessors log in, the system already knows that team they belong to and which criteria they are permitted to edit/update/access. Once all 133 questions have been given an initial answer, 100% of baseline will be complete. From that moment forward, everything is tracked based on updates provided to the assessment over time, activating Historical Data modules and such.

Give the Stakeholders a Reason to Trust You

Help the community trust you by providing the transparency stakeholders seek. Along with providing reference links to claims made inside the assessment, you can upload photos, videos, documents and evidence. When your destination provides demonstrable proof of improvement and implementations, the public will have a way to see you accomplish your established goals in real time. Blue Community will help your team with your plan and everything you need to succeed with your team efforts.

Establish & Showcase Best Practices in Sustainability

In addition to establishing best practices by improving a destinations metrics, you can add best practices to the system and sort by category and metric group
