Puerto del Carmen beach hotel, Lanzarote
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
We reduce our energy and find local renewable energy sources for our energy.
The VIk Hotels group commitment to the environment has led this hotel chain to orient its entrepreneurial activities under the principles of sustainable development.
With a view not only to the energy saving but also to taking advantage of the virtually inexhaustible natural sources, VIK hotels group have positioned themselves as pioneers in the Canary Islands in the use of such resources within the touristic environment.
Since 2007, the VIK hotel San Antonio has used solar cooling technology with a system of solar thermic energy, whereby the heat is used to generate cold, considered the first of it's kind with such characteristics and considerable size within the Canary Islands, with a surface heating capacity of 2.894 m2.
The solar thermic installation generates an annual environmental emission saving of equivalent to 700 tons of CO2 into the earth's atmospehre. This is equivalent to that which a car would generate travelling around the world 35 times, or rather the benefit to the environment supporting an area of 4,5 million trees for 25 years.
Vik hotels group have untaken sustainable development as one of their principle ventures conscious of its importance and contributing in this way, not only as a role model for the tourism industry but with a long lasting respect for the environment.
