Bansko, Bulgaria, 2022-Jun-05 — /Travel PR News/ — In an important milestone, Kempinski Hotel Grand Arena Bansko has achieved Certified Silver status through EarthCheck, the world’s leading business advisory group specialising in sustainability and destination management for the travel and tourism industry.

Hotels participating in EarthCheck Certified actively monitor and report their environmental and social impact from their operations, including indicators such as energy and water consumption, carbon footprint, waste generation, community engagement and much more. Using a science-based approach, each of the hotels aims to increase efficiencies, maximise the guest experience and minimise its environmental footprint.
