Introduction
replace by: Green Key is an international eco-label awarded to tourism accommodations and other hospitality facilities that commit to sustainable business practices. Awarded establishments comply with strict criteria that are independently verified through regular on-site audits and third-party verification. Green Key is a programme operated by the non-governmental and non-profit organisation, the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and its national member organisations.

Green Key is one of the eco-labels for the hospitality industry worldwide and currently has more than 3100 awarded hotels and other establishments in more than 60 countries (November 2019, for current numbers please visit www.greenkey.global). History
replace by: Green Key was launched in Denmark in 1994 by HORESTA (Association of the hotel, restaurant and tourism industry in Denmark), the Danish Outdoor Council and the Association of Danish Tourism Executives. It was adopted by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) in 2002 and is now one of five programmes managed by FEE. It has since spread to around 60 countries and continues to grow in number and reach across the world. Criteria
replace by: Green Key is eligible for various facilities: hotels and hostels, campsites and holiday parks, small accommodations, conference centers, tourist attractions and restaurants. The Green Key criteria focus on environmental management, technical demands, social responsibility and initiatives for the involvement of guests, staff and suppliers. Some of the categories covered are water, waste, energy, cleaning and washing, food and beverage, green areas, staff involvement, guest information, corporate social responsibility, etc. Green Key awarded establishments adhere to international criteria as well as specialized national criteria reflecting national legislation, infrastructure and culture. The criteria have been designed to be feasible for the tourism industry, easily understood by the travellers, and clearly verifiable during on-site audits. [3] Application procedure
