Sustainable Tourism: Bom Jesus Hotels in the Heart of Braga’s UNESCO Heritage Park

Discover how the Bom Jesus Hotels located within the UNESCO World Heritage Park in Braga, Portugal, have embraced sustainable energy. By installing a biomass boiler, the hotels have harnessed local forest residues to supply their operations, achieving a 25% reduction in energy consumption and fully replacing fossil fuels for heating.

This initiative not only aligns with the hotels’ commitment to environmental, economic, and social sustainability but also showcases the potential of biomass as a renewable energy source within a protected historic setting. This example highlights biomass’s role in advancing sustainable tourism and supporting Europe’s energy security goals.
