Sustainable Tourism

 

The Versō hotel, like all other establishments part of the PAL+ Group, features a sustainable tourism policy that highlights our commitment and determination to enhance our organization’s performance in sustainable development in our daily actions.

 

Greenkey Certification

Committed to a more sustainable approach to tourism, Hotel Versō is proud to have earned the Greenkey Certification with a 3-key eco-rating. Recognized across North America, this certification evaluates the eco-friendly practices of hotels and event venues based on several criteria, including waste management, energy efficiency, responsible purchasing, and community involvement. The 3-key rating reflects a strong commitment to continuously improving sustainable development practices and reducing the property’s environmental footprint.

To ensure the success of this commitment, here are some initiatives we have implemented:
