Green Meeting Destination

Conferencing, as a sustainable experience with a small ecological footprint, but great social impact? Is that even possible? We are convinced: Yes, it’s possible! And not only that, it’s even quite easy! We can show that it is not hard to make improvements on how we do many things and that encounters with a good conscience are even more sustainable and memorable.
We are therefore going the extra mile in our trailblazing role and making sustainability in the Tirolean convention industry measurable in a benchmarking process, accompanied by the internationally recognised team of experts surrounding the GDS (Global Destination Sustainability) movement.

In Tirol there are already many wonderful examples of how “sustainable meetings in Tirol” are possible. Allow us to inspire you with the many green practice examples of our lateral thinkers, tenacious Tiroleans and modern role models.

Together with our Tyrolean MICE experts, we encourage an authentic, future-oriented way of thinking, built on the tried and tested, so that our grandchildren can still meet safely and with peace of mind in Tirol.

We can advise every event planner on how to easily conserve resources, save energy, assume social responsibility and demonstrably contribute to global sustainable development with congresses, conferences, seminars, team building, sporting events and galas. This naturally creates a positive image among locals, participants, service providers and sponsors alike, encouraging others to lead by example.

For us, acting responsibly is defined by using regional, fresh organic cuisine and catering with waste prevention and meaningful recycling, CO2-friendly travel and sustainable experiences in nature, combined with relaxed overnight stays in energy-efficient, eco-certified conference hotels. Did you know, for example, that the electricity supply of all households in Tirol is covered 100% by hydropower (= green-electricity), produced locally by the province’s largest energy supplier, TIWAG?*

Or that 31.1 kilograms of CO2 emissions and 60 minutes of time can be saved if you travel from Berlin to Innsbruck by train instead of by car?**

Once you have arrived in Tirol, there is hardly any need to use transport facilities to attend an event. With its short commuting distances, almost everything in Tirol is accessible on foot. Something that benefits not only the environment, but our health too.

Would you like to have your event certified as a “Green Meeting”? To help you quickly identify the appropriate “Green Venues” on our website, we have marked them with our Meet Green label. All our venues and our team will be happy to support you in planning your green and sustainable event in Tirol. Find out more about this label and green meetings in Tirol here.

No matter whether you are planning great cuisine, the production of advertising materials or the construction of trade fairs and stages, the focus on regional products and suppliers is not only close to our hearts but also close at hand. You can find more information and examples on the high quality of our food, as well as the creatively innovative spirit of our hosts and chefs here.

All our exhibition stands, give-aways or promo materials are made from natural materials such as wood and manufactured by local producers.***

In addition to the sensitive use of our natural resources, we also attach great importance to diversity, equal treatment and inclusion. We are aware of our responsibilities; we live and support various initiatives that contribute meaningfully to a healthy and fair society. You too can take responsibility and conference sustainably in Tirol! Find out more here.
