Slovakia holiday resort & spa
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
The ethos behind our resort is about the prevention of environmental pollution and minimising the production of 'greenhouse gasses' and global warming. We also positively contribute to the sustainability of the local economy and the environment, working to preserve the future by investing in sustainability.
By using the geothermal energy efficiently we save approximately €2.5million every year on our energy costs. Our use of the geothermal energy means that it is Europe’s first virtually carbon neutral hotel and resort complex.
We continue to invest in environmental and energy efficient technologies, with an aim of being totally energy self sufficient by the end of 2007. We have invested in a state of the art UV filtration system, which means that we only use about 10% of the chlorine as compared with other public swimming baths, further reducing the impact of the resort on the local environment.
For every guest who flies with us from the UK to our Slovakia holiday resort, we work with the organisation Climate Care in order to offset the carbon dioxide emissions associated with the return flight, thereby ensuring that as many parts of the holiday as possible are carbon neutral.
Community
We play a vital role in the local economy by providing employment both directly and indirectly to many local people. By encouraging visitors to come to the area, the resort plays a very important part in the development of the local tourist industry and the associated improvements in local infrastructure which result.
We endeavour to use local suppliers and to employ people from the local community as much as possible. The resort is partly owned by the town of Poprad and the resort also plays a vital role by investing a part of its profits into the local community.
