Visit West Cornwall

Wherever we go and whatever we do, we have some impact and leave some impression on the environment. By making positive choices before and during your stay you can help to look after this special area ensuring that it retains its character for your next visit.

Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS)

In a busy world we all enjoy the opportunity to switch off and relax. This award allows you to do just that.

The Green Tourism Business Scheme recognises places to stay and visit that are taking action to support the local area and the wider environment.

The higher the level of award the more action that is being taken.

All GTBS award winners have demonstrated that they are taking action across a wide range of areas such as:

• Energy and water efficiency
• Waste reduction
• Support for local residents and suppliers
• Use of ethical products
• Promoting alternatives to the car
• Contributing to wildlife and the environment

Much of this takes place behind the scenes, but you may notice a greater range of local, organic fair trade or natural products, seperate bins for recycling, and invitations for you to join with their efforts, whether it be giving your car a day off, enjoying the local wildlife or having the towels changed only when you ask.

Far from being back to basics, many of the actions taken by the business will add to your comfort and enjoyment. For more information on the Green Tourism Business Scheme please visit www.green-business.co.uk
