The Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS) is the leading sustainable tourism certification scheme in the UK. Businesses opting to join are assessed by a qualified grading advisor against a rigorous set of criteria, covering a range of areas, like energy and water efficiency, waste management, biodiversity and more.  

Visit Manchester is offering significant discounts to members who wish to join the scheme. For further information please contact Nicola Trotter, Skills and Quality Executive, on 0161 238 4581 or email nicola.trotter@visitmanchester.com.

Visit Manchester is committed to leading tourism in Greater Manchester towards a greener future and as an organisation, has taken action in a wide range of environmental issues. Visit Manchester is proud to announce that in February 2009, all of this hard work and commitment to sustainability was recognised when we were presented with a Silver award from GTBS.
