Highland Campervans - Sustainable Tourism

How Green Are We?

Sustainable Tourism Highland Campervans is proud of its attitude towards sustainability - considering the environmental, economic and social impact of all our business activities. We are aware that many people chose our campervans because they want to reduce their carbon footprint and avoid taking long overseas flights, especially when there is so much to see so close to home. Being sustainable isn't just about the talk though, we actively try to consider our 'carbon footprint' in all of our business activities, which is why you'll find we try to do most of our bookings via emails and online, rather than printing out reams of paperwork to send all over the world. We also don't have a printed brochure because the best and most updated information can be found on our website.

Keeping Business Local

As a family firm based in the Highlands, we understand how important it is to support other businesses in the area and keep trade local. Where possible we encourage our customers to buy products as they travel around the Highlands, however, we also realise that sometimes an initial shop has to be done in one place just to get you on your way sooner! Whether it's buying materials to use in our campervans or getting business items printed, Highland Campervans will always look local first even if that means paying a bit more...

An Environmentally Friendly Cleaning Service

As part of our environmental policy, Highlands Campervans has moved away from chemical based cleaning products and now uses natural solutions based on vinegar, essential oils and good old-fashioned elbow grease, wherever possible! We also provide Ecover biodegradable washing-up liquid in our campervans for customers to use which means that when the waste water tank is emptied, you haven't got to worry about putting a load of chemicals into the ground. Where porta-potti's are provided, we also supply biodegradable toilet paper and the chemicals in the toilets are as environmentally friendly as possible.
