What your business can do

Benefiting your business...  

signpostBy promoting car free days out to your guests you will demonstrate a commitment to protecting the outstanding landscapes of the Lake District and our environment.

There is so much to see and do in your local area. By encouraging visitors to leave their car behind they can experience some wonderful places first hand. They will also get the most out of their visit by exploring all the delights available on the doorstep.

Not only is it important that your guests enjoy their visit to your village or town, so that they want to come back again, but on an environmental level car free days out can reduce the visitor impact on our precious environment.

By caring for the places our guests love to visit you can rest assured that visitors will return and your business will flourish. By safeguarding the future of our environment you are safeguarding the future of tourism in the area.

To ensure your guests enjoy their visit as much as they can without using their car, here are some useful tips:

  • Stock current public transport timetables
  • Provide guests with up-to-date information about local attractions
  • Make recommendations of what there is to enjoy locally
  • Create your own Fresh Air is Free materials, check these out for inspiration or use our toolkit to help

  • Do it yourself! - Toolkit

    We've been helping local businesses create bespoke mini-guides for their guests. This is easily done. We've created a Toolkit to help you out.
