Eco-Tourism

Jet Park believes that environmental sustainability is the responsibility of every individual, business and organisation.

Ensuring the environmental health of our country and our planet for future generations is something we take very seriously.

And, we ‘walk the talk’. View our enviro-Newsletter

In March 2010, Jet Park Hotel was awarded the Qualmark Enviro-Silver Rating, signifying that we have met the high levels of environmental and social responsibility required of this rating.

Representing the culmination of a year’s work, this was a proud and gratifying moment! It had involved a fair degree of commitment and work by the whole Jet Park Hotel team.

Initiator and driver of the application process, Jet Park Hotel Human Resources Manager, Sonja Herrmann reports,
“When choosing to stay with us, guests can have total confidence they are selecting a hotel who stakes its reputation not only on the standard of it’s accommodation, facilities and customer service, but also on its pro-active and genuine approach to environmental sustainability.”

Nor does Jet Park Hotel regard the project as ‘completed’. New developments in environmental sustainability will emerge and will be incorporated into the Jet Park program. As guests, your contribution with new ideas is not only welcome, they are actively solicited and your participation in sustainable practices equally encouraged:

• Energy saving by turning off appliances when away from your rooms
• Rubbish and recycling options

Care for our environment means constant monitoring and improvements where they can be made. Together you, our valued guests, along with staff and hotel owners can make a difference to the future preservation of our beautiful environment for future generations to enjoy.

Supporting the SPCA

Owners of Jet Park Hotel have always had a long love affair with animals and animal welfare. In fact, they adopted two pet dogs from the Auckland SPCA and couldn't be happier with their extended 'family'.

It follows then that the SPCA would become Jet Park Hotel's charity of choice. We began supporting the SPCA at the same time as the Jet Park's opening back in 1998.  The relationship has gone from strength to strength. With the inclusion of a functional Education Centre at the Auckland SPCA, we are happy to refer clients to their Conference Centre when we are fully booked and vice versa.
