This document discusses ecotourism certification schemes and quality standards as networking and marketing tools. It provides several case studies from local tourism businesses in Soomaa National Park that have benefited from certification. Certification can be a valuable networking tool, improving cooperation and joint marketing between different players in a region. It gives destinations an identity and increased visibility nationally and globally. Tourists also prefer certified destinations as it provides credibility and expectations about what the experience will be. However, the benefits can be improved by better promotion of certification brands and increased networking between businesses at the destination level. Keeping certification requirements relatively simple also improves the benefits for individual businesses.
