Triple A Food Tours celebrates Green Tourism Silver Award recognition

Triple A Food Tours is proud to announce that it has been awarded the prestigious Silver Green Tourism Award, recognising the company’s commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism.

The Green Tourism accreditation is a world-leading sustainability certification programme, assessing businesses against 15 criteria across the three pillars of People, Places, and Planet. This holistic approach evaluates environmental, social, and economic practices, ensuring a credible and independent assessment of sustainability performance.

Achieving the Silver Award confirms that Triple A Food Tours demonstrates good practice across all three pillars while actively working on a robust action plan to further strengthen its sustainability efforts.

David McDonald, Environmental and Sustainability Assessor at Green Tourism, commented:

Through a rigorous assessment process conducted by Green Tourism’s technical experts, Triple A Food Tours has demonstrated that environmental and social responsibility are at the heart of their operations. This independent recognition confirms that Triple A Food Tours is not only delivering exceptional experiences but doing so with genuine care for both people and the planet.”

Earning the Silver Award demonstrates that Triple A Food Tours has been independently verified as meeting high standards of sustainability, including:

• Working responsibly, ethically, and sustainably
• Reducing its impact on the environment
• Contributing positively to the local community
• Being accessible and inclusive to all visitors and staff
• Committing to continuous improvement through best practice initiatives

Owner of Triple A Food Tours, Amy Whitfield, expressed her delight at the achievement: “I’m absolutely over the moon as this means that our work has been recognised by a worldleading third-party accreditation. A big thanks to all at Green Tourism – we really valued the input and support given by the team to help us through the assessment process. We’re dedicated to #GreenTourism and to economic, environmental, and social sustainability.

“When you come along on a tour with us, you’re supporting a better future for people, places, and planet. It’s great to see travellers really caring for our planet and local people. According to a recent Booking.com report, 93% of British travellers want a more sustainable travel experience in 2025.”

This achievement confirms that Triple A Food Tours is not only delivering exceptional culinary and cultural experiences across the North East but doing so in a way that safeguards the environment, benefits the community, and contributes to a more sustainable tourism industry.
