Since the founding of the association in 2001, BIO HOTELS have been developing holistic solutions. What began as a manageable union of visionary hoteliers about 20 years ago, now comprises around 90 companies in 6 European countries. The conviction for a sustainable way of life brings everyone together to a great whole and stands now for much more than just the use of organic food. Over time, the organic idea has spread to the entire hotel business and now also includes natural cosmetics, building biology, resource management and common good economy.
Over the years, BIO HOTELS have outgrown their infancy and have established themselves on the market with the help of a brand relaunch, stable network and cooperations with strong partners. BIO HOTELS have been recommended by Bioland since 2008 and are now an IFOAM member and Slow Food promoter. The know-how of marketing director Ludwig Gruber is also in demand beyond the borders of the continent. For example, since 2013 there has been cooperations with Biohotels in Japan and China.
Today, BIO HOTELS are the only association of ecological hotels with a certified organic guarantee. The bio-hoteliers stand for mindfulness and new visions. Learn more about the association on https://www.biohotels.info/en/
