The brochure on sustainable practices that we are presenting for the Plitvice Lakes National Park and the wider area is aimed at promoting sustainability in our area and is intended for the local population and all tourism workers who in any way carry out tourism activities in their community.
As a Public Institution and the holder of the Green Destinations silver award for sustainability, we strive to encourage the local community and the wider area to implement responsible practices, which is also the main reason for creating this short brochure.
Therefore, these few pages cover environmental topics such as packaging and waste, food waste, drinking water and wastewater, renewable energy sources, light pollution and noise. They also touch upon social topics that include a brief look at local suppliers and products and respect for human rights, and we also highlighted the procedures for certifying sustainable practices and the possibility of acquiring various certificates.
In addition to encouraging messages on the above topics, and we hope you will recognize yourself in some of them and apply them, we also presented several facts about global, European or national circumstances and situations. Perhaps the provided information will encourage you to further explore the possibilities of making a much greater contribution to sustainability than what is covered in this brochure.
“Sustainable practices are important in raising the value of the protected area as well as the wider area with the aim of promoting a sustainable way of life for the local population and for strengthening tourism”.
