‘Guide Sustainable Tourism for Dummies’®
Tourism South East (TSE) joined forces with South West Tourism and West Sussex County Council to produce this free guide to encourage the tourism industry to ‘go greener’, part of the Dummies® series of easy to use guidance books from publishers Wiley.
The friendly pocket-sized guide is characteristically informal and packed with straight-talking tips on how to make the most of the benefits that a sustainable approach to tourism can bring. It is particularly targeted at smaller businesses such as B&Bs and self-catering property owners, with simple and immediate advice on low cost measures to make a green difference.
Content includes a wide range of practical solutions in areas such as:
• top ten energy saving tips
• recycling and composting
• improving water efficiency
• reducing packaging
• finding local suppliers
• encouraging customers to act sustainably
• promoting your green credentials
This is the first time such a publication has been written specifically for the needs of the tourism industry. Whilst there have been many early adopters of good green practice, the Dummies® guide provides the perfect opportunity to reach out to the thousands of tourism businesses yet to hear of the of the benefits or wondering how to respond to such big issues. A familiar brand like Dummies, available free of charge, in a bite-sized format, and focused specifically on the context of a tourism business, provides ample incentive to encourage businesses to take their first steps.
