What makes Bovisand a ‘David Bellamy’ award winning park?
David Bellamy Conservation Awards are made each year to parks which can demonstrate policies showing active concern for the environment. As part of the assessment process, virtually every aspect of park management is assessed from the protection of plant and animal habitats to the conservation of energy and recycling. There are three levels of excellence and Bovisand has achieved the highest level ‘Gold Award’ demonstrating their commitment to protecting the environment.
Bovisand has also achieved a Silver Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS) Award which is the national sustainable tourism certification scheme for the UK and is validated by Visit Britain, through the International Centre for Responsible Tourism (ICRT).
Candice Hart from Bovisand says ‘We are proud to have won both the David Bellamy Gold Award and Silver GTBS Award. The environment makes Bovisand such a unique place and our guests really appreciate this special place in Devon. This year we’re in the process of adding solar panels to heat the swimming pool complex, making it warmer for our guests and also cutting down on our carbon footprint – a winning formula towards sustainability’.
