| Canada is a big country, full of unique experiences and
places for you to explore. Stretching from the Pacific
to the Atlantic and deep into the Arctic, Canada is the
second largest country in the world. Renowned worldwide
for its vast and spectacular landscape, its unique blend
of cultures and multifaceted history, Canada is a major
tourist destination and one of the world's wealthiest countries.
Nearly four times
the size of the UK, and rich in natural resources, British
Columbia (BC)
is known for its spectacular
scenery and recreational attractions. To maintain their
beautiful environment and outstanding natural and cultural
resources, it is important that they minimize their impact,
build awareness, and maximize the conservation of BC’s
great tourism assets and help educate visitors to do the
same.
It is for this reason
that several forward-thinking operators in BC’s
tourism industry have adopted our Green Tourism certification
program
to provide them a roadmap to operating
their tourism businesses more sustainably, so that we may
all enjoy for years to come, the Super Natural BC brand
that we know and love today.
31 businesses from across the 6 tourism
regions in BC, were assessed on-site by one of our senior
green tourism
assessors and each was scored against a rigorous set
of sustainability indicators to determine if their performance
had achieved a certification award level.
Green Tourism Canada, a new division of Green Tourism
UK, is excited to introduce you to the first 26 operators
in BC to be certified by Green Tourism Canada. We look
forward to announcing more green certified operators in
the months ahead.
