KOSTA BODA ART HOTEL
Kosta Boda Art Hotel is a business with
many smart sustainability solutions. To name
a few, they have water reduction in the taps
and do most of the cleaning with water and
not chemicals. The guests only have access
to the spa after check-in, which reduces
laundry. The restaurants put great emphasis
on good food and locally produce ingredi-
ents. It is a given to use Swedish vegetables,
buy bread from the bakery on the other side
of the street and take care of food waste
that can be given as food to the animals in
the Kosta Safari Park.
KOSTA LODGE OCH THE
SAFARI PARK
The activities around Kosta Lodge revolve
around wildlife and nature. The Lodge
works closely with both marine biologists
and biotope experts and for the fish in
the local area to have a better chance of
reproduction. Also own fish is farmed, not
medicated with antibiotics, which can be
served to the guests at the Lodge. In the
nearly 200 acre of land, the park protects
wild animals that can stroll freely in their
natural environment. Good control is kept
on the animal populations while protecting
endangered species. Food waste from
various restaurants in Kosta is taken care
of and used as animal food in the park. In
addition, the safari park offers the possi-
bility of locally produced, climate smart,
meat to be served at the restaurants. The
animals live their lives and are put to death
in their natural environment, which means
they are not exposed to unnecessary stress
during transportation.
