Introduction
Lincolnshire has a rich cultural history and a diverse natural environment. From roman ruins and Tudor palaces, to almost one hundred nature reserves and a coastline which has Site of Special Scientific interest (SSSI) status, the county offers something for everyone.
For hospitality businesses, it is this varied and inspiring local landscape which attracts customers. As such, it is vital that your business plays a role in positively contributing to the preservation and promotion of local places.
This section of the Green Hospitality Toolkit will support your business to better understand how you can have a positive and lasting impact on your area.
