FThe Proposed Rating System Is Intended For All The Tourist facilities, With Or Without Restaurants. These Norms Will Apply To All Categories Of Public And Private Tourist Facilities,viz. Hotels, Homestays, Dharamsalas, Lodges, Camps Including Portable Toilet facilities Or Trekking Groups. It is in this context that the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation (DDWS), in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism under Travel for LIFE Campaign, is planning to bring out the Green Leaf Rating System for hospitality facilities such as resorts, hotels, homestays and other places of tourist stay in the country based on their compliance with the Safe Sanitation Practices outlined in these guidelines.
The participating entities need to score at least 50% of the marks in each theme to become entitled for Swachhata Green Leaf certification (1 Leaf, 3 Leaf or 5 Leaf). In due course, these ratings should be made a part of industry branding ratings such as those by Trip Advisor, OYO, bookings.com and others to integrate ‘safely managed sanitation’ related indicators also in their evaluation of facilities. This may be done in collaboration with the national SBM(G) mission. The details of the evaluation criteria for Current Certification Status are provided below. The Rating System broadly termed as the ‘Green Leaf Rating’ may be appropriately modified to more convenient terms such as 1 Leaf status, 3 Leaf status and 5 Leaf status based on the obtained scores by the tourist entity.
