In this video clip, Michael Stober talks about sustainability in tourism by walking us through his award-winning hotel ‘Landgut Stober’ and pointing out some surprising and innovative measures the hotel has taken over the years. All in all, this has not only resulted in a lower footprint of the business but has also delivered lower prices for hotel guests. The hotel is located by the ‘Großbehnitzer See’, 20 km to the north of Berlin.
