Certificate of Excellence |
Awarded annually |
Certificate of Excellence honors select accommodations, attractions, and restaurants that consistently demonstrate a commitment to hospitality excellence. To be eligible, a business must maintain an overall rating of four or higher (out of five), as reviewed by travelers on Tripadvisor. Additional criteria include the volume of reviews received within the last 12 months. |

GreenLeader |
Annual application, rolling |
The GreenLeaders Program recognizes hotels and B&Bs that engage in environmentally friendly practices, making it easier for travelers to find and book a greener stay. GreenLeader awards are granted based on application by the hotel on a rolling basis. Qualifying properties are marked with a badge on their Tripadvisor page. Attractions and Restaurants are not eligible for GreenLeader awards. |
