Eco Hotels Certified

This certification stands for more ecology, more sustainability and more regionality in a business. It is certification of sustainably operating tourism businesses and takes account of their total resource use.

The CO2 data are collected and evaluated against similar businesses, using an anonymous benchmark system, and this means they can be compared with the best in the particular segment/category (class). This evaluation also identifies where specific improvements could be made.

This ongoing benchmark evaluation system ensures that participating businesses are constantly improving in terms of resource use and sustainable operations.
