Legislation is constantly changing, and we expect this to gather pace in the coming years as we get closer to global net zero targets (see section 2.4), with more incentives for good business behaviour and penalties for poor behaviour.
The Pink Book, published biennially by VisitEngland, gives clear guidance and practical information on the legislation that affects accommodation and attractions. From an environmental standpoint, this currently includes single-use plastics and the provision of coal and firewood for guests.
