Camping and the Environment
Holidaying on a campsite is relatively environmentally sound and ‘low impact’.
In recent years, we have become more aware of green issues and environmental concerns. Climate change, in particular, is discussed, with its accompanying threat of dangerous and far-reaching changes in weather patterns, and carbon dioxide is identified as the prime culprit.
The travel industry, in particular, has had to think very hard about how it addresses sustainable tourism. Like it or not, carbon emissions are part of the holiday ‘experience’ whether we fly or travel by ferry or car. Airlines, large international hotels, train operators, and cruise lines have all had to consider their green credentials and environmental policies, and this is just part of a complicated, swirling mass of elements that include fiscal measures, public opinion, rising energy costs, ever more consumer choice and ever greater consumer expectations.
Sustainable tourism is envisaged as leading to the management of all resources in such a way that economic, social and aesthetic needs can be fulfilled while maintaining cultural integrity, essential ecological processes, biological diversity and life support systems.

What are we doing to make a difference?
We’ve introduced a program of eco-friendly initiatives designed to reduce the environmental impacts of both staff and customers. LOVEGreenis our sustainability and environmental initiative aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of our team and office. It covers things like who we work with and how we operate internally, as well as how we communicate with our customers.
The steps we take may be small, but each and everyone counts towards a greener and healthier future.
Find out more about what we're doing in the office, what the organisations we work with are doing and our dedicated Green Team...
What eco credentials do we show on the Alan Rogers website?

We now display information including:
