ʻO ko Innovation Nūhou holomua holomua kūlana me 45 mau ana hoʻohālikelike a me nā hōʻailona 108 e ana, hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia a nānā ʻia. Uhi ka maʻamau i ke kūlohelohe, ka moʻomeheu, ka nohona, nā waiwai kaiāulu, ke komo ʻana o ke kaiāulu a me ka nohona waiwai. Hoʻomaopopo ʻia ka hoʻomohala ʻana a mau ʻia ma o ka helu ʻana o ka hana a me ka hoʻohou ʻana i ka inoa i kēlā me kēia ʻekolu mau makahiki.

Eia kekahi, ʻo kahi hui e kū i nā koina GSTC pono e lawelawe i ke kūlana. ʻAʻole hōʻoia ka GSTC Recognition i ka hilinaʻi o ke kaʻina hana hōʻoia, aia wale nō i ka papa o nā kūlana i hoʻohana ʻia e hōʻoia ai e komo pū me nā mea liʻiliʻi e hōʻoia i ka hoʻomau. ʻO ke kumu o nā papahana GSTC ka uku ʻana i nā mea hana maoli o ka mākaʻikaʻi hoʻomau, a laila kūkulu i ka hilinaʻi a me ka hilinaʻi me nā mea kūʻai.
"ʻO ke kūpaʻa nui e pili ana i ka papahana branding 'Sustainable Destination" e hōʻike ana i nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi Norewai e hoʻomau i ka hoʻomohala koʻikoʻi. Ma o ka laulima ʻana me nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o ke kaiāulu ʻoihana a me nā kaona, hiki i ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa ke lilo i mea kōkua i ka waiwai a me nā hana kūloko.

"Haʻaheo mākou i ka loaʻa ʻana o Innovation Norewab Destination Destination Standard e hui pū nei me ka hui i wae ʻia o GSTC Recognised standard. ʻO Innovation Nūhou kahi alakaʻi i ka paepae ʻana i ka hoʻomau i ka hoʻokipa a me nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe he nui i ka pae aupuni, e hāʻawi ana i kahi hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa no nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e hāhai ai, "wahi a Luigi Cabrini, ka luna o GSTC.
Ke koho ʻia kahi huakaʻi, hoʻohana ʻo Innovation Norewai i ka hae ma o ke ʻano o ka hoʻokō a me nā ʻano hana nānā. A laila, ua hoʻokumu ʻia kahi hoʻoholo paʻa e ka ʻaha kūkā nui e kākoʻo i ka hoʻomohala hoʻomau ʻana i ka hoʻokipa a me nā hana like e hana ʻia e nā mea hoʻokipa hoʻokipa. Ma hope o kēlā, hiki ke hoʻokō ʻia o ka hae. Hoʻopili kēia i nā hana e like me ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā halihali kūloko, nā hana hoʻolaila ikehu, nā papahana kai a me nā moʻomeheu kūloko, nā kia hōʻailona a me ke kūkulu ʻana i nā ala hoʻohauʻoli. Hoʻohui pū, kahi hana nānā e pili ana i ka kākau ʻana i ka hoʻohana maʻamau o nā meaʻai kūloko, ka moʻomeheu kūloko, ka ikehu, ka hana ʻōpala, a me nā waiwai moʻomeheu i ka huakaʻi. ʻO ke kaʻina holoʻokoʻa holoʻokoʻa ma kahi o ʻelua mau makahiki.
I kēia lā, 10 pae hoʻohālikelike, a me 30 mau hōkele a me nā hae ʻoihana huakaʻi i loaʻa i ke kūlana GSTC-ʻIke ʻia. ʻO ka pau ʻana o kēia mau papahana akamai e uku i nā ʻona maʻamau no kā lākou kūpaʻa i ka hoʻomau ʻana ʻoiai ke hāʻawi nei i ka mākeke i kahi hōʻoia e pili ana kēia mau kūlana i nā loina o ka honua.
E hoʻomau ka GSTC e hana pū me nā hui a puni ka honua e hāʻawi iā GSTC ʻIke o nā kūlana no ka hoʻomau ʻana i ka huakaʻi a me ka mākaʻikaʻi. ʻAʻole hōʻoia ka GSTC Recognition i ka ʻike pono ʻia o ke kaʻina hana hōʻoia, aia wale nō ke kau ʻana o nā kūlana i hōʻike ʻia e like me ka GSTC Criteria.
Paipai ʻia ʻo GSTC-ʻike ʻia nā ʻona maʻamau e hoʻopiha i ke kaʻina Accreditation e pili ana i ka maikaʻi a me ka neutrality o kā lākou hana hōʻoia. Ke hōʻoia nei i kahi kūlana GSTC-Accredited e hōʻoia ana i kā lākou kaʻina hana hōʻoia e pili ana i nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe o ka honua ʻoiai e ʻike hou ana i kā lākou mau hae a me nā hana i waena o nā papahana hōʻoia ʻē aʻe.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

- Innovation Norway is a leader in promoting sustainability in tourism as well as in many other sectors at national level, providing an excellent example for others to follow,” says Luigi Cabrini, GSTC Chair.
- GSTC Recognition does not ensure that a certification process is reliable, only that the set of standards used to certify are equivalent to the GSTC Criteria.
