Sustainable Tourism Award
This is a new category of award for Cumbria Tourism and one which we are feel reflects the current need for responsible tourism and recognises all of those ethically run businesses striving to do the right thing for our wonderful environment. Our fellow finalists included our friends at Langdale Leisure Ltd and Greystone Farm Shop and tearoom. Well done to all of us!
Sponsored by Friends of the Lake district the Sustainable tourism award is for any tourism business working to maximise their positive impact on the environment and local area/community while communicating their environmental commitment to their visitors.
The winner will demonstrate a proven commitment to sustainable best practice, either through particular innovation that is having a positive long term impact or marked improvement in a given area within the last 2 years.
