The ASSC are delighted to welcome Janie Neumann, Sustainable Tourism Manager at VisitScotland along to the session to share her wealth of knowledge and experience. The talk will be specific to the self-catering sector in Scotland and will include an update about the climate action journey that Scottish Tourism is on and how you can get started on your own. She will address the drivers and benefits of taking action, provide a step-by-step guide to developing a simple climate action plan, some quick wins to reduce your carbon footprint and increase efficiency, and where to get more advice and support.
