Organisations join forces to promote Sustainable Tourism
- 10Feb2012
Three of the leading green tourism establishments in the UK have decided to link up in a bid to promote sustainable tourism and hospitality businesses.
The Considerate Hoteliers Association, Green Tourism Business Scheme and Greentraveller.co.uk have joined forces to offer a number of benefits to each other’s members. These include free joining fees and substantial discounts on subscription fees and listings. Membership of all three organisations is available to a wide range of hospitality and tourism businesses, from B&BS and guesthouses, to restaurants with accommodation and visitor attractions.
The Green Tourism Business Scheme has been independently validated by the International Centre for Responsible Tourism (ICRT) on behalf of VisitEngland, VisitWales and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board. It has also been endorsed by VisitScotland and Failte Ireland. The scheme has grown to almost 2,500 members and can already boast at being the biggest in the world with influence reaching across the globe from North America to New Zealand.
