e are committed to looking after the environment in which we operate - including both the spectacular local landscape and the culture that distinguishes it from other places - and making best use of these resources in a way that ensures that they remain for the benefit of our children.
o this end we are currently undertaking a review of our practices with respect to protecting the environment. We will shortly be documenting our policy, and will ultimately publish it on this web page. This is an integral part of our plan to implement the Green Dragon Environmental Standard within our business and personal lives.
he ten principles for Sustainable Tourism that we will be applying are:
- Using resources sustainably
- Reducing over-consumption and encouraging waste minimisation
- Maintaining diversity
- Integrating tourism into planning
- Supporting local economies
- Involving local communities
- Consulting stakeholders and the public
- Training staff
- Marketing tourism responsibly
- Undertaking research
