EcoWorldHotel
EcoWorldHotel is the first Italian environmentally sustainable hotel brand and the first to obtain the ItalianEnvironmental Quality Seal for accommodation facilities. It gathers together 130 structures including hotels, B&Bs, farmhouses, period residences, and multi-building or integrated hotels, in the most atmospheric settings in Italy. Founded in 2007 through the initiative of a group of green hoteliers with the editing of the “Guide to environmentally sustainable accommodation facilities”, Ecoworldhotel immediately received great acclaim: for example, it won the 2011 Environmental Enterprise Award. A distinct feature of the affiliation is the series of requirements and parameters – 15 obligatory and 75 optional – which determine a structure’s possibility of acquiring the Ecoworldhotel environmental quality seal and being classified in accordance with the innovative eco-leaf system. From 1 to 5, following the traditional hotel classification; on the basis of the commitment to the use of technologies involving low environmental impact and to using energy from renewable sources. EcoWorldHotel certification is valid for two years. The brands most important strengths also include its Purchase Group, specialized in eco-friendly, organic and green hotel supplies. But it is also a landmark for companies and end consumers with a green spirit.
Current trends in tourist demand indicate how the quality of the setting in holiday localities and hotel facilities is a determining factor in the choice of the final destination. The passion for genuine hospitality thus also entails respect for the environment, which is considered as a legacy to be preserved. Since 2007, Ecoworldhotels has focused on sensitizing both sector operators and travellers towards new responsible tourism that is attentive to ecology in all its forms, and also to demonstrating that care for the environment takes nothing away in terms of quality of service, welcome and comfort; on the contrary. In itself it counts as an added value.
Respect for the environment, as the new modus vivendi, also in hospitality and for hospitality.
