Since the Plitvice Holiday Lodge is situated in the National Park Plitvička jezera we consider environmentalism and sustainable tourism of great importance. We are very much aware that “we have merely rented” the destination from the local population and from the future generations. Our goal is to run business in tourism, however, to leave the least possible print in the environment, to respect lifestyle and culture of the local people and to give our contribution to the local community.
In order to achieve the goal of a sustainable product in tourism we have done the following:
Use of eco-friendly materials in the construction of the whole building complex
Use of natural materials in the construction of the environment
Use of eco-friendly materials, mostly recycled wood in the interior decoration
Energy saving insulation
Eco-friendly heating, floor heating with heat pumps
Waste water treatment plant
Food purchase from local producers results in financial benefit for local community
Collaboration with local tourist agencies and local guides
Waste management
Composting
Economical lighting
