Promoting your green credentials

Some practical suggestions:

• Encourage feedback via comments cards.
• Ask visitors politely to consider the environment during their stay. You can be ethical and potentially save money at the same time.
• You may decide to become fully audited against a sustainability standard or scheme. It's good practice to communicate any achievements.
• Put your environmental policy on your website, in guests’ welcome packs and/or in reception.
• Improving the sustainability of your business can improve/enhance overall quality of visitor experience.
• Various organisations such as the tourism partnerships, national park and local authorities will help businesses communicate environmental achievements. They may publish relevant logos in brochures/websites.
