Visitor Gifting
What is Visitor Gifting?
Cornwall attracts almost 5 million visitors every year. Many of these come back every year and sometimes twice a year, enchanted by the same amazing landscapes and wildlife that are the reasons most of us call Cornwall our home.
Many of our visitors are becoming much more aware of the environmental impact of their holidays and travel. They are also looking for ways to give back to the environment, By introducing a visitor gifting scheme you can help build your customers loyalty by enabling them to support the protection of the places and wildlife that they cherish. Â
How do I collect the money?
There are many methods used by businesses to collect visitor donations. From the old style donation boxes that sit on your counter tops, collections at special events or activities, or simple opt-in, opt-out options on your booking forms. Whatever you choose, we are here to help. What's most important to us is that you and your staff believe in the scheme and are happy to encourage your visitors to get involved.Â

“For many years we have asked our customers to make a voluntary donation to Cornwall Wildlife Trust when they book their holidays with us online. Almost every guest does so, which I think underlines the affection they have for this spectacular area, and their concern to be involved in maintaining its upkeep’’Mother Ivey's Bay Holiday Park
