Green Key & Sustainable Travel Finland

Welcome to Break Sokos Hotel Bomba in Nurmes! We have been accredited with the Green Key label which is accredited based on working to help preserve the environment and the label is gained if the strict criteria are met.
 
Every year we evaluate and decide on new environmental goals which we will work towards every day in our operations. For example, we offer local and organic products in our breakfast buffet, we work towards decreasing the amount of food waste, we recycle and we recommend our customers to find ecological ways to move around. Did you know that at Bomba you can rent a bike and head out to the nature? We recommend getting to know the surrounding nature on your visit. 
 
Visit Finland's Sustainable Travel Finland (STF) label is accredited to tourism companies which meet the criteria including financial, ecological, social and cultural parts of sustainability.
 

"We are extremely proud to have gained such label and recognition. Sustainable tourism is a natural way to operate in a Finnish cultural heritage site. We want to take into account the preservation of our nature and surroundings as well as the Karelian heritage in order to serve good quality experiences for future generations", says General Manager Sanna Tenhunen.

"Our whole staff familiarized themselves with the Visit Finland's sustainable tourism programme and we were quick to fulfill the criteria needed to gain the label. This is a good next step after the Green Key label gained years ago. Green Key label is accredited thanks to the hard work done to develop and promote environmental work."

Sustainable Travel Finland label especially helps international tourists in their hotel and travel decisions. "We want to join the ride with Visit Finland in marketing sustainable experiences to international guests", Tenhunen tells.
