How about ecotourism associations? Don’t they have member directories that anyone
can see? Of course they do, though not all are open to views from non-members. But
this is one way to do your search.

In addition and for example, the United Nations World Travel Organization (UNWTO)
has an affiliate directory. One you can narrow your search by country.

government agencies (through their tourism bureaus) and NGOs also list places that
they have certified. All based on their training and credentialing programs. Two
examples would be:
