Treading lightly on holiday. Taking a trip doesn’t have to mean destroying the wildlife and polluting a river. Often located in pleasant but fragile surroundings, tourist accommodations can place a large burden on water and energy resources. Local species are also at risk through habitat loss, careless human activities and improper waste disposal. Accommodations can make environmental improvements in a number of different areas to qualify for the Eco-label. The European Eco-label lets you know that your accommodation is:

• efficient with the energy it uses;
• respectful of the natural environment.
  
  

So whether you’re looking for a comfortable accommodation, the Eco-label can guide you to one that respects the environment by using renewable energy, saving water, reducing waste, and educating its staff in eco-friendly behaviour. Simply said, Eco-labelled holiday facilities are better by nature.

The accommodations in the house "Apartments UTJEHA" are honored with the "EU Ecolabel for tourism operators."

As the first (and so far the only one) private landlord in Montenegro, we have received the highest award of the European Commission (Reg.Nr. AT/25/079).

Our efforts to reduce environmental impact:

• We are increasingly buying products with an eco-label
• We train our staff in resource-saving and environmentally friendly behavior
• We inform our guests about ways to support our environmental objectives and about the European Ecolabel
• We collect data on the consumption of energy, water, chemicals and the volume of waste and use this information for internal business optimization
  
  

These measures and areas are important to us:

• Information to our guests, employees and the public about our environmental activities
• Motivation of our employees to be environment friendly action through regular training and opportunities to actively participate in the environmental program
• Inviting the guests to participate actively in the implementation of our environmental program
