Green Tourism said it is the world’s largest certification programme of its kind and it described the partnership as an “exciting move for the hospitality industry”.

Andrea Nicholas, managing director of Green Tourism, said: “With increasing numbers of tourists considering sustainability when travelling it has never been more important for a hospitality business to adopt green practices.

“Working with a number of our top members who demonstrate excellence in sustainability, the chosen scholars will gain a wealth of experience and insight from their visit and we hope this will be reflected in the state of sustainability across the hospitality industry.”
