VisitBritain consultation response
December 2007 VisitBritain recently consulted EAI concerning their plans for a entry level scheme for sustainable tourism business accreditation. Our response was made after canvassing the members of the EAI European Charter for Sustainable Tourism Network. The Network had concerns about the scheme, particularly that it might negatively impact upon the work being done in many protected areas to work productively in partnership with tourism businesses.
