As part of Tennessee's ongoing Sustainable Tourism initiative, five green certification workshops will be held in 2010 across the state. Sponsored by the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development and Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the workshops will facilitate discussions and solicit partner input regarding the development of a state green certification program for the tour and travel industry. In addition, the events will provide continued sustainable tourism resources, case studies, best practices and access to leading experts.
The MTSU Center for Historic Preservation (CHP) and the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area (TCWNHA) have supported the development of this program and representatives of the CHP will be attending each of these workshops.
Attendance at the workshop will range from 70 - 100 attendees based on space availability at each location. Registration for the workshop is required as seating is limited. Please register for the workshops via email at patricia.gray@tn.gov or 615-741-9004.
