Parco San Marco Hotels & Beach Resort: Promoting Symbiosis between Tourism and Nature
Parco San Marco Hotels & Beach Resort is located on the shores of scenic Lake Lugano Northern Italy, and enjoys its own expansive private beach and gardens, all surrounded by the pristine and ancient Valsolda Regional Forest, Lake Piano Nature Reserve and Monte San Giorgio.
Certified by Green Globe for the first time, Parco San Marco Hotels & Beach Resort has reached an inaugural compliance score of 98%. This remarkable achievement reflects a wide range of sustainable practices deeply embedded in daily operations and a team who carefully balance their successful business with care for their unspoiled Alpine location.
The forest region surrounding Parco San Marco is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and has been designated as a Special Protection Area by the European Community. Rich in environmental treasures, these alpine and pre-alpine areas are home to 13,000 plant species and 30,000 animal species. The harmonious symbiosis between nature and landscape, is fundamental to the resort guests’ experiences, where the untrammeled biodiversity inspires relaxation, recuperation, and unforgettable holiday memories.
Parco San Marco’s commitment to preserving biodiversity is reflected in its own expansive grounds, which serve as a sanctuary for the local flora and fauna. The resort team see the protection of the environment as a joint task, to which each employee must contribute according to his/her responsibility, knowledge, and ability. Furthermore, the resort aims to motivate guests and suppliers to act in an environmentally responsible manner.
By promoting eco-conscious practices into every facet of operation, the resort not only provides a lavish retreat for its guests but also sets a commendable standard for responsible and environmentally friendly tourism. Parco San Marco is committed to waste reduction through recycling programs and the use of biodegradable materials. The culinary team prioritizes locally sourced, organic ingredients grown by local farmers. And the integration of energy-efficient technologies, such as solar panels and LED lighting, showcases the resort’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.
