Getting around
People are often surprised at how compact Manchester is, and how easy it is to explore the city centre by foot. There are also excellent public transport links, including an extensive network of buses and trams and trains and a free Metroshuttle bus, which covers three circular routes in the city centre.
The Green Tourism Business Scheme is the leading sustainable tourism certification scheme in the UK. Businesses who join are assessed by a qualified grading advisor against a rigorous set of criteria, covering a range of areas, like energy and water efficiency, waste management, biodiversity and more.
Businesses that meet the required standard, receive a Bronze, Silver, or Gold award based on their level of achievement.
If you are a tourism business in Greater Manchester wanting more information on becoming sustainable, Visit Manchester can offer advice, signpost your employees to environmental training and support you in joining GTBS.
