VERIFIED™️ Responsible Hospitality provides hotels and their restaurants and spas with clearly defined best practices to protect the environment and support the wellbeing of employees, guests and the community — without compromising guest experience.

Designed in collaboration with highly respected hotelier Hervé Houdré, a leader in sustainability, this program creates a global standard for the world’s finest hotels and a trusted third-party verification to share with guests and travel advisors.

Properties in Malta and Gozo which participated in the 2023 Sharecare Verified will be contacted to transition to the new Responsible Hospitality Verified by Forbes Travel Guide. New properties are encouraged to apply and participate in this exciting program. This reflects an evolution of the program to reflect the changing requirements of properties in a post-COVID environment. While safety considerations have been kept, additional sustainability dimensions have been added to the prestigious Responsible Hospitality by Forbes Travel Guide”.
