Madeira Accommodation Albergaria Catedral - Madeira Sustainability

This accommodation provider has taken action to address one or more issues (whether environmental, social or cultural) which will contribute positively to the long term viability of the destination and hence their site displays a Caring for the destination rating.

Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:  

The accommodation focuses on promoting and encouraging local goods and services.

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

Albergaria Catedral contributes to support and stimulate the Madeiran economy by sourcing and using the abundance of locally produced goods and services. They encourage their guests to purchase local products such as flowers available in the native biodiversity of Madeira and greater Macaronesia Region, the famous Madeiran wine, and local leather products and crafts. Being an island, purchase of local goods reduces the need for imports which, in turn, means less of an environmental impact.

The staff at Albergaria Catedral gets support for career development at all levels through regular training programs.

In addition to promotion of high-quality local goods and services, efficient and eco-friendly waste management, and conservation of water, paper, and energy are all at the top of this accommodation's Caring for the Destination agenda.
