\"EH<\/a><\/p>\n

What is Green Heart Tourism?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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<\/a> 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. My interest in responsible tourism is linked to its sustainable development impact. Tourism can create better places to live and visit.<\/p>\n
