Of course, developing and implementing tourism certification
schemes is not always straightforward. In fact, as
has already been indicated, considerable discussions have
taken place over the (in)equity inherent in tourism certification
schemes. For example, on an international level,
there is some disquiet over claims that scheme members
may seek to create excessive entry barriers by raising the
standards, and therefore cost, of applying for certification.
In addition, businesses that can afford to be involved in
designing and implementing many of the certification programs
are very likely to be transnational corporations,
potentially disadvantaging small and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs) that are particularly prevalent in supplying
tourism (Medina, 2005; Mycoo, 2006; Rivera & deLeon,
2005; Vertinsky & Zhou, 2000)
