Ski businesses and resorts are being urged to become greener and more cost efficient with the help of a new campaign.
The new online guide www.makesnowsportsgreener.com is central to the campaign.
It uses film clips, top tips and practical step-by-step guidelines to show how sustainable practices can be implemented successfully.
The campaign, which is a partnership between The Travel Foundation and the Ski Club of Great Britain, highlights the cost benefits for business by adopting a green strategy.
The website demonstrates ways to improve ski resort businesses’ practices to make them environmentally friendly under ten categories: Energy conservation in buildings, water conservation, waste management measures, snow production, lift operations, ski area vehicles, transport, sustainable design and construction, environmental policy and communication and education.
The information is tailored for different sectors of the market including ski resort operators, hotels and chalets and other businesses in ski resorts including ski shops and restaurants.
