GREET serves visitors to Ghana’s rural ecotourism sites, as well as participating rural communities and tourism service providers.
For tourists, GREET provides world-class information and booking service from its office in Accra, Ghana, as well as from its internet site and a variety of publications. GREET staff will assist visitors by email or telephone with planning their trip, answering questions and booking reservations for services at rural ecotourism destinations. Information is also provided about private tourism service providers that operate independently from GREET.
GREET also works closely with participating ecotourism destinations and service providers to improve and maintain the quality of the services they offer. GREET has created standards to encourage continued improvement of rural ecotourism services and to provide visitors with an understanding of the levels of service they can expect. Standards are also designed to promote transparency of operations and expenditure of resulting revenues to enhance sustainable community development. Training and other support is provided to assist participating communities and businesses to develop levels of service required for certification.
