Green Tourism Business Network

Summer Event: Castle Drogo, 17 May 2011

This workshop offered an update on regional and national tourism policy and it explored the commercial opportunities of producing renewable energy and heat. An open discussion was held to understand which elements of the network had been particularly useful - exploring what support may be needed by businesses in the future.

Andy Dawson concluded the event with a case study on the environmental programme at Castle Drogo, including a tour of the recently installed biomass boiler.
