Frequently asked questions

What is the GSTC and how does it relate to the certificate?

The GSTC (Global Sustainable Tourism Council) sets the international criteria for sustainable tourism. Türkiye’s Sustainable Tourism Programme is based on those criteria.

Does AGY Strategic issue the certificate?

No. AGY Strategic provides consultancy; certification, approval and audit decisions are made by the relevant authorised bodies. We prepare your business and manage the process with you.

Is mandatory training included?

Depending on your property and the legislation, we can plan occupational health and safety, first aid, hygiene, fire and staff training alongside certification.

How long does the process take?

It depends on your current position, the scope and the timetable of the relevant body. We assess your situation in the first meeting and give you a realistic schedule.
