Sustainability goals
Sustainability is one of the key words of our hotel. The tourism branch is expanding more and more and has its impact on nature. Expressed simply, sustainable tourism can be defined as: 'Tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities'.
