The Amalia Hotels group on the path of green transformation
A key characteristic of Amalia hotels for over 50 years is the harmonious connection of the past with the future and the dedication to the development of tourism. In this context, the group develops by embracing modern trends and creates new strategies that respect the protection of the environment for the benefit of society and future generations! Amalia Hotels base their vision on the implementation of a sustainable policy that adopts the development of sustainable tourism.
Daily, our team focuses on the goal of reducing the environmental footprint and enhancing social contribution with dedication and commitment. Recently, Amalia Hotel Athens was awarded by the Municipality of Athens and the Association of Hoteliers of Athens – Attica and Argosaronica with a “special badge” for participating in the Bio-Waste Collection Program. In twelve months, the hotel adopting in practice the principles of the circular economy, collected 4000 kg of bio-waste, which instead of ending up in a landfill, is being composted.
The effort to deal with the effects of the climate crisis is ongoing, as the management of Amalia Hotels has taken measures to save energy and water in the hotels. Indicative examples are the use of geothermal energy for heating, cooling and hot water at the Amalia Hotel Nafplio, while the Amalia Hotel Kalambaka has a biological treatment of liquid waste, with the final product being used for the irrigation of gardens. Actions like these are included in the Green Key certification, which focuses on increasing the use of environmentally friendly and sustainable operating practices and technologies in our facilities.
Taking into account the country’s ambitious climate goals under the European Green Deal, Amalia hotels are committed to minimizing their environmental footprint and encouraging sustainable travel initiatives, improving the sustainability performance of all 6 hotels (Amalia Hotel Athens, Amalia Hotel Nafplio, Amalia Hotel Delphi, Amalia Hotel Olympia, Amalia Hotel Meteora, Margarona Royal).
Our aim is to continue to offer high quality tourism services and experiences to our visitors, while having a positive impact on local communities, reducing the waste of natural resources and contributing to the restoration and protection of the environment.
