The positive effects of responsible tourism are a major benefit for the environment. All hotels can take small steps to reduce their environmental impact. Green Key awarded hotels are committed to creating positive environmental change.
Following demand on an international scale, Green Key has recently developed an opportunity for smaller accommodation (with fewer than 15 bedrooms) to have an impact on global environmental sustainability. If you are a small guest house, an eco-lodge or a bed and breakfast then this is your opportunity to add your contribution to responsible tourism.
Campsites form a major part of the leisure industry and environmental management in Wales. Green Key offers campsites the opportunity to share their environmental policies and green credentials with guests and visitors.
Green Key has recently developed criteria specifically aimed at the restaurant industry with a focus on education and locally sourced produce. The Green Key for restaurants celebrates and promotes establishments making changes towards a more sustainable future.
As a growing part of the leisure attractions have a role to play in delivering a more sustainable approach to environmental management. The Green Key award allows attractions to celebrate their environmental achievements and commit to a sustainable future.
In response to the growing number of businesses who want to work with environmentally aware and sustainably run venues, Green Key has created an accreditation for conference venues.
