Because travel is a big part of tourism and a main contributor to global warming, measures need to be taken to reduce its impact. Tourism businesses can help by encouraging visitors to use less polluting options. The travel information given to customers can influence them to make their journeys with lesser impact. Sustainable travel options introduce customers to new experiences and positive lifestyle choices. Tourism businesses can provide facilities to support environmentally friendly forms of transport, such as walking, cycling, bus and coach travel and eco-friendly fuelled vehicles. You can also encourage staff to adopt greener travel habits by offering incentives and providing facilities. Examples of the travel assessment criteria Include:

• Informing guests of public transport options
• Walking and cycling facilities and information
• Facilities for coaches
• Staff travel options
• Public service vehicles
• Eco-friendly vehicles
• Carbon Management
