Meeting and Exceeding Sustainable Design & Construction Requirements in Sedona, AZ
Tourism is the foundation of the local economy in Sedona, generating 75% of the city’s revenue. In an effort to support increased visitation while protecting the stunning natural landscape from potential tourism-related impacts, the City of Sedona partnered with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), the world’s leading standard-setting body for sustainability of tourism operations and destination development, to undertake a destination assessment and develop initiatives toward sustainable tourism.
