Green Champions
A corps of Green Tourism Business Champions is being sought to help businesses in the GTB Network. Businesses like you can assist others with:
• Mentoring and business advice
• An exchange of ideas and learning
• Peer encouragement to those embarking on the green route
• Enthusiasm and experience where actions speak louder than words
• Examples of good practice in sustainable tourism
16 leading green businesses have already signed up to help in various ways: giving presentations at network events; 1:1 business mentoring on the GTBS application process; general green mentoring advice by email and telephone; helping moderate the online forum and message board; hosting open days to showcase and share best practice in operations.
If you would like to get involved this way and have a positive attitude and ability to inspire others and would like to be considered, please email: Rachel Mildon: rachel.mildon@devon.gov.uk
