Ashdown Park gains Green Tourism accreditation Ashdown Park Hotel and Country Club has gained silver accreditation from the Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS).

The leading sustainable tourism certification scheme in the UK, hotels are awarded either bronze, silver or gold accreditation if they can show their business has been sustainable, responsible and green. To qualify for the scheme Ashdown Park needed to show it used a significant amount of recycled products and demonstrated that it is working extensively to source supplies both locally and ethically as well as minimising damage to the environment and meeting good standards of practice, while still providing a high quality of service.

Ben Booker, general manager at Ashdown Park Hotel and Country Club, commented: “We are delighted to have been awarded this accreditation. At Ashdown Park we are committed to sustainable tourism and minimising damage to the environment. We take pride in being a green tourist destination whilst retaining great customer service.”
