Naturhotel Ortner's Eschenhof: First partner in the Nockberge Biosphere Park!

In Bad Kleinkirchheim something is happening: The Naturhotel Ortners Eschenhof was officially the first tourism partner company in the Biosphere Park Nockberge. According to Kleine Zeitung , this certification is an important step towards promoting sustainable tourism in the region. Dietmar Rossmann, the head of biosphere parking management Nockberge, emphasized that the certification is the result of intensive cooperation, the strict quality guidelines followed by the biosphere park curatorium and the MAB National Committee.

But what does a biosphere park actually make? The Nockberge Biosphere Park is one of the 651 biosphere reserves worldwide and is part of the UNESCO program "Man and Biosphere" (MAB). As can be read on the website of the nockalmstraße , biosphere reserves pursue the goal of protecting nature and bringing human activities into line with the environment. A distinction is made between three zones in the characterization of these areas: the core zone that serves the nature conservation, the care zone and the development zone, which focuses on social and economic aspects.

a step into the future

The opening of a new information corner in the Naturhotel shows how serious it is with the clarification. This information corner should not only bring guests closer to the importance of the biosphere park, but also give an overview of its projects and tasks. Important personalities such as Gerhard Ortner and Monika Köberl-Mischitz were also present in the unveiling. This initiative is viewed as a significant step to promote regional development, because education and information are central pillars of sustainable tourism strategies. This is also emphasized in the principles of sustainable tourism in biosphere reserves, as in the BFN-Scriptures

The success of a biosphere park like that in the Nockbergen lies not only in the preservation of his habitats worth protecting, but also in the ability to create synergies between nature conservation and regional development. Cooperation with tourism companies such as the Ortners Eschenhof is a key to success. The focus is on sustainable development, in which social and economic aspects are not neglected. This is the basis for a flourishing and future -oriented tourism model.

In the Nockberge region, there is hope that further companies will follow the successful certification and thus promote sustainable tourism. Offers that combine nature conservation with regional development finally have a boom today. In this sense - there is something in Bad Kleinkirchheim!
