Case Study - Financial Advantage: Clandeboye Lodge Hotel
Clandeboye Lodge Hotel
A
stylish 4* hotel in a beautiful rural
location, the Clandeboye Lodge is a stunning property with
a renowned brasserie, a name for excellent customer service and
the only EFQM accredited hotel in Northern Ireland. Pim Dalm, Managing Director, wanted to build on their reputation and develop their green
credentials, and immediately saw both the ecological and financial advantages
of becoming a member of GTNI.
Case Study - Learning: Ballydugan Cottages
Ballydugan Cottages
Jeannie and Jim Morrison, of Ballydugan Cottages, are no
strangers to making changes for the benefit of their business. After inheriting
a row of derelict properties near Down Patrick, Northern Ireland, Jeannie
lovingly restored and adapted each one, transforming them into the holiday
cottages they are today. “Rather than demolishing the cottages, I wanted to
preserve what was good about them,” explained Jeannie.
Case Study - Inspiration Brack Tours
Inspiration: Brack Tours
Since 2007, Brack Tours have provided unique and authentic
driving excursions, utilising their extensive local knowledge and years of
industry experience. They have already been inspired to make changes from the
inside out, from initiating ‘walk to work’ initiatives and incorporating green
procedure into special interest trips, to developing green packages to attract
the lucrative US market. Nuala Devlin Saul, Managing Director, considers
partnership crucial for the success of green tourism in Northern Ireland.
“Visitor attractions, bed and breakfasts, for example, don’t have tour
operators to showcase their products, so we need to collaborate to make this
work, and we need to do it quickly.”
