6 - 11 June 2011 is Green Tourism Week
The aim of Green Tourism Week is to celebrate the benefits of sustainable tourism and the positive impact it has on the wider economy in keeping with the achievements of the Green Tourism Business Scheme and its members.
The Green Tourism Business Scheme is the only tourism certification program in the UK endorsed by VisitEngland, VisitScotland and VisitWales and has been validated by the International Centre for Responsible Tourism since 2008.
Operated by a not-for-profit organisation, Green Business, there are over 2,300 GTBS members through the UK and Ireland. Businesses are graded by qualified environmental assessors and can benefit from significant marketing advantage and reduced running costs of up to 20%.
Farm & Cottage Holidays are proud to have recently been awarded the Green Tourism Business Scheme 'Gold' for the second time.
