Green Tourism

The Green Tourism Business Scheme

The Green Tourism Business Scheme

Launched in 1997, the Green Tourism Business Scheme has been championing sustainable tourism in the UK, and has become the largest and most successful scheme of its type in the world. Over 200 individual aspects of the business are measured in this process.

Its aim is to ensure that the UK remains at the forefront of sustainable tourism. Nearly half of the properties featured by Premier Cottages are part of this the scheme (see below). Together with the independent quality assurance inspection that each and every property featured undergoes, this shows that luxury and respect for the wider environment can go hand in hand.

Gold Awards


These are awarded to the properties with the best systems in place for dealing with energy consumption, water usage and waste management.

Silver Awards


These are awarded to properties that have made a real commitment to dealing with energy consumption, water usage and waste management and will have some areas of best practice.

Bronze Awards


These are awarded to properties who are covering all the basic criteria.
