Training & Resources

Reducing your energy use will reduce emissions but also save you money and allow you to spend more on enhancing your visitor’s experience

Utilising renewable, clean energy sources can give you greater energy security in the face of national uncertainty, as well as an exhibit to attract more visitors

Providing more recycling and waste facilities at tourist sites will make it cleaner and a more attractive place to visit

Re-using materials, rather than buying new, can save money

Purchasing local products and using local supply chains will further boost the local economy

Promoting public transport options will enhance accessibility for a wider diversity of visitors

Fewer cars driving around the site will improve air quality, safety and, therefore, visitor experience

Many locations rely on a diverse natural environment to attract tourists; helping to protect wildlife and landscapes will mean that tourists continue to visit such sites

Boosting opportunities for wildlife where they do not currently exist will give more reasons for people to visit

Establishing targets to reduce your emissions can lead to a more efficient business overall

Becoming greener can also provide growth opportunities in other areas, as well as opportunities to celebrate your environmental successes with visitors

Growing your own fruit and veg will save your business money and provide healthier choices for consumers

Choosing local suppliers can reduce food and drink miles, as well as supporting the local economy

Ensuring you are protected from the worst impacts of climate change (e.g. increased flooding) will minimise the risk of damage and associated costs

Becoming a more resilient business will also give you contingency plans in the face of national and global shocks such as energy price rises and pandemics
