The Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS) accredits a range of different types of accommodation providers on their efforts to reduce their environmental impact.
Each business is assessed every two years against rigorous criteria, covering areas like energy efficiency, waste minimisation and recycling, use of local produce, and support of public transport.
Green Tourism is Sustainable Tourism - tourism which takes into account the needs of the environment, local residents, businesses, and visitors; now and in the future.
The Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS) is the leading sustainable tourism certification scheme in the UK and has been adopted by the 5 Northwest Tourist Boards. Businesses are assessed by a qualified grading advisor against a rigorous set of criteria covering a range of areas, like energy and water efficiency, waste management, biodiversity and more to achieve a Gold, Silver or Bronze award.
