Go greener training campaign launched in anniversary year
It only takes a tea break to take part
Everyone in the travel trade is being urged to take part in a new ‘go greener holidays’ training campaign just launched by the Travel Foundation
The quick and easy quiz has been devised to test people’s knowledge on sustainable tourism issues and will be available on the charity’s new free training portal www.travelfoundationtraining.com .
The new quiz builds on the success of the Make Travel Greener training campaign, which has seen more than 15,000 industry staff trained since 2008, and ‘Go Greener Holidays’ will be the first course offered via the site.
The Travel Foundation plans to offer a wider range of training courses on the site, and is aiming for 5000 travel staff to have taken a course by the end of the year.
Salli Felton, acting chief executive, said:
"It only takes a tea break to complete the quiz, which has been created with travel industry professionals in mind. Even those who have done our old Make Travel Greener quiz will learn something new as we have updated all sections and added new ones.
We are encouraging people at all levels to get involved and understand more, and for companies to build the ‘Go Greener Holidays’ quiz into staff development plans."
The ‘Go Greener Holidays’ course covers:
- the concept of sustainable tourism and ‘greener’ holidays
- the importance of keeping destinations special
- why it’s good for business
- climate change
- talking to customers
- how staff can help make a difference
The Travel Foundation is also launching a service to develop bespoke training quizzes so that courses can be tailored specifically to an organisation’s needs. If you would like to know more about this, please contact Julie Middleton, industry programmes manager on 0117 930 7172.
