Visit Lincolnshire launch Green Tourism Toolkit

Lincolnshire County Council’s Tourism Manager, Mary Powell has led the project’s development and is delighted to be sharing the Green Tourism Toolkit is now available to use, saying “This is just the beginning of the sustainable support that we are providing the visitor economy sector across Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland.

“We want to support businesses in becoming proactive about turning their business greener and practising sustainability, making better places for people to live and better places for people to visit.

“This is of increasing importance to our visitors, so there are good business reasons for starting this process.  We want to be able to attract visitors responsibly and understand that now more than ever, it is crucial to take care of our amazing places while still extending a warm Lincolnshire welcome.

The Green Tourism Toolkit introduces achievable practices in a series of simple steps that our tourism businesses can adopt that can really make a difference to their eco-credentials and green aspirations.”

The toolkit is laid out in five main sections, managing sustainability, people, planet, place, and grant funding, and designed to help businesses understand more about the benefits and how to implement sustainability in their business directly, one small step at a time.

Lincolnshire businesses can get started using the Green Tourism Toolkit by calculating their carbon emissions using the online carbon calculator, to identify where they can start to make a difference.
