“We will offer an enhanced luxury experience to our guests that delivers positive environmental, social, and economic impacts to our local communities.
We will prioritise protecting the planet for the next generation.”

 

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

The Killarney Park is located in one of the most beautiful areas in the world.  Protecting this amazing landscape and environment is extremely important to us at both The Killarney Park and The Ross Hotel.

In line with this, we continually strive to improve our environmental practices in various areas including energy, single-use plastic and water usage.  We also continue to develop a number of ecotourism experiences for our customers to enjoy.

We are members of The Green Hospitality Programme and are Gold Award Certified, which is the only Irish environmental certification standard for the hospitality sector.  The GreenHospitality.ie Eco-label and Awards are recognised both nationally and internationally as standards that allow members to achieve good environmental performance and allow visitors to choose “Greener” hospitality businesses, knowing that defined criteria are being implemented and monitored.

We are founding members of The Killarney Hotels Sustainability Group, a group of hotels, totaling more than 3,000 bedrooms, who are committed to protecting our landscape and environment wherever possible.

UNWTO Definition for Sustainability, “Tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment, and host communities.”

The Green Sustainability Team at our hotel are always looking for ways to help reduce our carbon footprint and welcome any questions or suggestions you may have.  Please do not hesitate to contact info@killarneyparkhotel.ie
