Following the recent launch of its pioneering, integrated generative AI capabilities at ITB Berlin and partnering to launch the inaugural WiT Africa (Web-in-Travel), award-winning sustainability management startup, Weeva has been awarded its GSTC-Recognized Standard status from The Global Sustainable Tourism Council®, which means it is aligned to GSTC pathways for those hotels wanting to certify.

We’re so excited to have achieved this recognition from the GSTC. Our team of experts has worked tirelessly over many months to ensure that our sustainability management system, including all our supporting best-practice educational guides, tasks and tools for continuous improvement, meet the incredibly high standards and benchmarks set by the GSTC. Julie Cheetham, Co-founder and Managing Director of Weeva

Weeva is set up to support users to gain their WTTC Basics and GSTC certifications by facilitating the capture of required data and the application of standardised reporting templates.
