You must first complete the form and pay the Aventure Écotourisme Québec membership fee. You will then receive an email with the information you need to start the certification process (standards booklet, toolkit and checklist). Our team will be available to help you and answer any questions you may have. Once you have provided the necessary documents, a certification advisor will conduct a site visit at your business. At the end of this process, the Membership Committee will formalize your business’s certification.
