WE'ER ALL GOING ON A (GREEN) SUMMER HOLIDAY

摘要

As the train rattles over Brunei's Royal Albert Bridge, a gust of wind buffets the carriage. Through rain-specked windows, I can just about see the town of Saltash cloaked in a thick mist. I'm probably not the only one entering Cornwall on 4 August hoping for a little bit of global warming to disperse the clouds.rnBut global warming is precisely why I'm in Cornwall. The rise in "eco-tourism" in the southern-most county in England is plain to see. According to a poll by the Cornwall Sustainable Tourism Project, 61% of tourists now say Cornwall's environmental reputation contributed to their decision to visit, and a whole new generation of green developments is being built to cope with the influx. But who are the developers turning Cornwall's holidays green? And just how easy is it to be a green tourist here?rnMy brief was to have the greenest holiday I could (helped by the fact that I was only given two days out of the office) and to take in as many of the newest green tourist spots as possible.
