What is official CHSE Certification?
During these uncertain times, Seven Seas has been working to achieve the CHSE certification provided by the Indonesian authorities.
CHSE stands for Cleanliness, Health, Safety, and Environmental Sustainability.
This certification is applied to Indonesia Tourism Businesses, Tourism Destinations, and other Tourism Products.
From the Seven Seas family we want to give you that extra peace of mind related with your safety on board once we resume our normal diving activity with all our new and returning guests.
Why the Official CHSE Certification Matters
Earning the official CHSE certification is more than just a formality — it’s a commitment to safety, cleanliness, health, and environmental sustainability. The official CHSE certification was introduced by the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy to ensure that tourism businesses follow high standards, especially in the post-pandemic era.
At Seven Seas, we are proud to hold the official CHSE certification, which reassures our guests that we operate with care and responsibility. From onboard hygiene to sustainable practices, the official CHSE certification reflects our dedication to providing safe and enjoyable experiences.
Choosing a travel provider with the official CHSE certification means choosing peace of mind — knowing that every detail has been checked, verified, and maintained to the highest level.
Why Travelers Should Look for the Official CHSE Certification
When you see the official CHSE certification logo displayed at a hotel, dive center, or restaurant, you can feel reassured that the business takes your well-being seriously. Travelers who prioritize their health and safety now actively seek out certified providers. Here’s why:
- Consistency and Transparency:
Certified businesses follow uniform standards that are monitored and evaluated. There’s less guesswork about what’s safe and what’s not. - Trust and Credibility:
In a time when reviews and social media can make or break a business, certification provides an added layer of credibility. It shows that the business has undergone formal checks and audits. - Support for Responsible Tourism:
By choosing certified providers, travelers are supporting operators who invest in better practices—not just for guests, but also for staff and the environment.
Benefits for Tourism Operators
For businesses in tourism and hospitality, obtaining the official CHSE certification is more than just compliance. It opens doors to new markets, partnerships, and marketing opportunities.
- Marketing Advantage: Certification makes it easier to attract international and domestic travelers who prioritize safety.
- Staff Morale and Training: The process often includes training sessions that help staff understand and implement better procedures.
- Operational Efficiency: Clean, well-managed businesses are not just safer—they also perform better, reduce waste, and receive better reviews.
The Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy actively promotes certified businesses through digital platforms and official campaigns, providing additional exposure to a broader audience.
How to Get Official CHSE Certification
The certification process is straightforward but thorough. Businesses must apply through the official CHSE portal and go through a verification and audit process, conducted by authorized third-party institutions.
Steps include:
- Registration on the CHSE platform
- Self-assessment and document submission
- On-site or virtual audit
- Evaluation by the audit team
- Issuance of the official CHSE certification (valid for 1 year)
Upon successful completion, certified businesses are listed on the official CHSE directory and receive a digital and physical certificate and logo for display.
Real Impact on the Ground
In destinations like Bali, Raja Ampat, Labuan Bajo, and Yogyakarta, the official CHSE certification has become a valuable tool to restore traveler confidence and rebuild the tourism economy. Many dive operators, liveaboards, eco-resorts, and tour agencies proudly display their certificates and highlight their compliance in marketing materials.
Some even go a step further by integrating the CHSE principles into their core business philosophy—making sustainability and health not just a requirement, but a long-term commitment.
