There is in Grumes, a small village of 450 inhabitants of Trentino, a hostel that has decided to take the road of ecology and sustainability. Surrounded by pristine and breathtaking nature, the accommodation offers the best services that a hostel can offer, but with a big difference: the energy comes exclusively from renewable sources, the cleaning products are eco-friendly, the waste are collected separately and the building was built in bio-architecture.
Thanks to this focus on ecology, the Hostel of Grumes was chosen as a case study for the event which is held these days in Rome organized by EURAC.
In the setting of Villa Celimontana, EURAC in cooperation with the Italian Ministry of Environment aims to discuss sustainable tourism and major development opportunities for Italy in this regard. From 6 to 8 July, for the conference “Destination GreenItaly. Governance models from the Alps to the Mediterranean“, international experts will meet to outline a path of development of Italian tourism. In this context, the hostel of Grumes present its experience of sustainable and rural tourism onThursday, July 7 from 10am, to promote the suburbs and smaller places, where the flow of mass tourists do not arrive.
The complete program of the three-day conference is visible on the EURAC website.
