Other Sustainable Tourism Organisations
As well as the Green Tourism Business Scheme, there are other accreditations and organisations that promote sustainable and environmentally friendly tourism:

David Bellamy Conservation Awards
These awards are made each year to parks whose policies show active concern for the environment. Assisted by local nature groups and holidaymakers themselves, David Bellamy looks at virtually every aspect of park management - from the protection of plant and animal habitats to the efficient use of energy and recycling. Helping visitors to understand conservation is also considered an important qualifying feature. For more information, please visit www.davidbellamyconservation.org.uk.

The Soil Association
The Soil Association is the UK's leading environmental  charity for promoting sustainable organic farming and championing human health. Most certificates for organic food and farming in the UK are awarded by it. Tourism businesses certified as organic aren't just food and drink producers; organic certification also applies to restaurants, bars, holiday accommodation and spas, as well as shops.
