SUSTAINABILITY
VisitScotland’s approach to developing responsible tourism in Scotland focuses on four priority areas:
- supporting Scotland’s transition to a low carbon economy
- ensuring tourism and events in Scotland are inclusive
- ensuring tourism and events contribute to thriving communities
- supporting the protection and considerate enjoyment of Scotland’s natural and cultural heritage
Responsible activity is a key priority for Scotland's National Events Conference, not only across programming and content, but also in the delivery of the event itself and the selection of the venue.
Assembly Rooms is well positioned for public transport and is committed to continuously improving its environmental performance as part of a wider commitment to sustainable development. The venue holds a Gold Green Tourism Business Award accreditation in the Resource Efficiency Pledge and has been a finalist and winner at the VIBES Scottish Environment Business Awards.
