Sustainability tips:

• Drink clean tap water. There are glasses in the rooms and in the restaurants water comes to the tables in pitchers.

• Prefer local food in the restaurant and at breakfast. Even if the standing table is overflowing with delicacies, put a smaller amount on the plate first and take more if you still can.

• Give as a gift and experience the experiences yourself. Instead of traditional gifts of goods, prefer gift cards, restaurant dinners and pampering weekends.

• Hop on a bike or use public transport and see Kouvola with new eyes. Get to know Kouvola's wonderful cultural and natural sites, enjoy live music and visit brick-and-mortar stores and craft shops.

• Take a hike in the nearby destinations. Local tourism is now in, and in our city you can find wonderful hiking destinations near and far. The hotel reception has a folder with recommendations for the best nearby destinations. Remember to always collect your own trash!

• By choosing a Green Key marked hotel, you are participating in promoting responsible and more sustainable tourism. Thank you for caring!

Better choices are always in order.
