Description:

Bohinj Park EKO Hotel in the Alpine resort of Bohinj is the first Slovenian hotel to receive the Green Globe Certification Award for sustainability.

Founded in 1992 in California, the Green Globe Certificate is a prestigious label for the sustainable operation and management of travel and tourism businesses.

The certification committee provides assessment based on several criteria like energy efficiency, water preservation and waste management.

With Bohinj Park Hotel, Slovenia has joined 84 countries around the world whose businesses have been awarded the Green Globe Certification label, according to a press release from the hotel.

Park Hotel, established in 2009 and located in the placid surroundings of Lake Bohinj, received the certificate as a result of the long-term environment friendly hotel policy.

This certificate adds to the reputation of the hotel as one of the most environmentally-advanced in the EU and sets the foundations for a permanent sustainable management of tourism in Slovenia, the management stated.

The Green Globe certificate is reviewed every two years and therefore requires continuous progress in the field of sustainable management, the press release from Bohinj Park Hotel said.
