Eco Tourism in the Highlands of Scotland

 Eco Tourism and Environment   

Highland Holiday Cottages near Aviemore are the first in Strathspey and Badenoch for self catering accommodation to attain Gold Eco-rating in the Green Business Tourism Awards.

Ecotourism is about connecting conservation, communities, and sustainable travel.  Along with our continued upgrade of existing facilities, Highland Holiday Cottages agree that in today’s current climate, “improved environmental performance” equates to “enhanced business development”.  Highland Holiday Cottages are therefore committed to the implementation of proactive measures to help protect and sustain the local environment. Highland Holiday Cottages aims to achieve the objective of improved environmental performance through pollution prevention, increased customer / supplier awareness and continuous improvement. Our overall company aim is:

“To be in the top quartile in the Cairngorms National Park with regard to environmental performance for self catering, with out affecting Quality”.

To do this Highland Holiday Cottages made an early decision to develop the following doduments which provides us with an integrated approach to identifying, managing and improve environmental performance:
