Backround. In 2008 Rosehill was one of the first self catering holiday business's to combine both a Gold award in the Green Tourism Business Scheme as well as the Five Star Gold Award under VisitBritains Quality Assurance Scheme. This combines luxury and green.Very much a first at the time. The GTBS is the only recognised sustainability assessment scheme in the UK and Ireland and is endorsed by Visit England, Visit Scotland and Visit Wales. Fundamentally it is the only tangible award that recognises and formally assesses best practise for green sustainability within the tourism industry. The assessment is rigorous and comprehensive and encompasses all aspects of green sustainability. At the end of 2010 we were again assessed by the GTBS and again were awarded Gold. There are now over 2300 members/business's within the GTBS scheme throughout the UK and Ireland of which around 400 have acheived the Gold Award. The GTBS shortlisted 40 of their members who had acheived the highest assessment rating. Of these 40, 20 GTBS members were selected and put forward as finalists for the Goldstar Award.
Green Apple Awards. 2008
In June 2008 we were also awarded Gold in the International Green Apple Awards for the "Built Environment". Our efforts were also recognised by being presented with the "Green Champions Award" by the Green Organisation at the same ceremony.
