“Cordial” is much more than just the basic element of our brand, it is also the fundament of our philosophy. Cordiality is not only a commitment from the heart with our guests. This commitment is also reflected, on the one hand, in our concern for the environment meeting with the highest standards of environmental qualities and on the other hand, in our social responsibility.

We are aware of the need to respect and protect the environment as well as the impact our activities have on it. We are committed to sustainability, to environmentally respectful tourism and to our social environment.

We feel our motto. Be Cordial!

Curiously, one of the factors favouring the appearance of tourism in an area, the landscape, is especially fragile with its development. To maintain our beautiful destinations, we have to protect the physical environment, ensuring that no damage is caused to any natural asset including land, water and air. This is the only way to conserve natural heritage and biodiversity.

At Cordial we are aware of the need to respect and protect the environment and we are committed to development and require in all members of our organization a responsible attitude to the natural environment. Proper management of environmental aspects, rational use of natural resources and open communication with our partners are considered essential elements of our performance.

Our continuous effort to reduce our environmental impact without compromising the comfort of our guests makes us environmentally sustainable.

Tourism can have positive benefits by allowing the interrelation between different cultures and generate economic flows. However, socio-cultural impacts may become negative for the host society.

Therefore it is important to ensure the social wellbeing of the local people, preserve the destination’s authenticity and its cultural heritage, values and traditions.

Another important aspect is to ensure a long-term economic balance that provides local people with stable jobs and opportunities.

For us it is a priority to positively influence the local community and contribute to the socio-economic development of our local environment. This honest and serious commitment with the destination and its people makes us socially sustainable.
