Each performance indicator is assigned a maximum number of points, and according to how well the destination fulfils each indicator, it obtains some of these points, no points, or all points (a full score). All the indicators’ points for each category are then aggregated to get the category score and calculated. To get the total score of the index, all category scores are aggregated.
Each destination is scored based on data submitted across the four pillars. The scoring ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating stronger sustainability performance. Destinations receive a detailed report with tailored recommendations, insights, and benchmark comparisons with other destinations in the programme.
