What is sustainable tourism?
It’s about more than energy saving and recycling – important as those are. It’s about visitor management, supporting your community and helping your guests to do their bit, whether they’re with you for an hour or two or a week or two. Caring for the environment begins with us, in our homes, workplaces and communities.
So every time you suggest a green experience, offer greener options or nudge visitors towards greener actions, you’re promoting sustainability, giving yourself a competitive edge and making Northern Ireland an even more attractive destination for tourists.
