Two Santa’s Hotels destinations in Rovaniemi have been granted the Sustainable Travel Finland -labels by Visit Finland.
In order to achieve the label, the companies need to go through the Sustainable Travel Finland program and meet all the required criteria according to international standards.
”This is great news, and we accept the recognition with pride both at our hotel in the city center and at our igloos in the Arctic Circle. The STF program has helped us to develop our daily processes to be even more sustainable, and from this moment onwards the STF-label will help us to communicate our sustainability actions to our guests as well”, rejoices Pia Virtala, Hotel Director of Santa’s Hotels Rovaniemi hotels.
The set of criteria for the STF-label is updated regularly so that the activities of tourism operators are in line with up-to-date sustainability obligations.
“We are committed to continuous work for sustainability. Our Rovaniemi hotel’s first environmental guidebook was launched 15 years ago, and our sustainability work has since expanded in additon to ecological responsibility also to socio-cultural and economic sustainability. With these official recognitions, it’s good for us to continue on our sustainability path,” continues Virtala.
Santa’s Hotel Santa Claus and Santa’s Igloos Arctic Circle are part of the Santa’s Hotels chain. Santa’s Hotels is a Lappish family-owned hotel chain that offers accommodation and restaurant services in a total of six locations from Kalajoki to Kilpisjärvi.
