What is Green Heart Tourism?
In 2011, after completing an MSc in Responsible Tourism Management from the International Centre for Responsible Tourism (ICRT) at Leeds Metropolitan University and writing my professional report on how travel companies can reduce child labour in tourism destinations, I set up a niche responsible tourism & SME market access consultancy business called Green Heart Tourism. The name refers to the area where I am from in The Netherlands near Gouda.
