What is a nature park host?
Nature Park partners are accommodation providers that identify with the philosophy of the Nature Park. Quality criteria were developed in workshops and implemented in the businesses. A healthy living environment, exercise in nature and regional delicacies (Almenland specialties) are central concerns of the nature park hosts.
Nature Park hosts are ambassadors of the Nature Park philosophy, they spread awareness of the Nature Park. Guests learn that their stay contributes to the preservation of the cultural landscape. Hosts and staff are experts in providing nature tours and nature experiences in the Nature Park.
Nature Park hosts work in regional networks and use these for their own development.
A healthy living environment, healthy exercise, healthy living and healthy food (Nature Park specialties, slow food) are central concerns of Nature Park hosts.
