EU Ecolabel Ambassador: Camping Espace Blue Ocean Company name: Camping Espace Blue Ocean Product category: Tourist Accommodations Country of origin: France License holder since: 2009  Website: https://www.espaceblueocean.com/?lang=en Camping Espace Blue Ocean: a model for sustainable camping The Camping Espace Blue Ocean is recognised as a model for sustainable camping in the tourism industry. In May 2017, the camping site was even selected by the European Commission to represent EU Ecolabel tourist accommodations during the ‘High Level Conference on sustainable tourism’. The 6-hectare campsite near Ondres, which offers 60 cabins for rent as well as a wide array of leisure activities, was awarded the EU Ecolabel in 2009. Today, Mr. Benjamin Souviraa, the director of the campsite, estimates that over five percent of their new guests specifically stay at their campgrounds because of the EU Ecolabel, and many clients return after enjoying their visit and learning about the EU Ecolabel-related actions. Camping Blue Ocean supports the ambition to ensure the stringency and relevance of the EU Ecolabel’s tourist accommodation criteria through various actions. In addition to its engagement to undertake new sustainable actions outlined in the optional criteria for EU Ecolabel tourist accommodations within his own camp site, Mr. Souviraa has also played a key role in the revision of the 2017 tourist accommodation criteria by providing an on-the- ground perspective of environmental hotspots within the tourism industry. Furthermore, he has helped guide a number of other tourist accommodations apply for the EU Ecolabel. Amongst other initiatives, the campsite has a solar- powered water boiler, installed in 2007 for which it has now reached a positive Return on Investment and acquires 100% of its energy from renewable sources. Waste and water management policies have helped the campsite with immense financial and consumption savings. Finally, Mr. Souviraa notes that he has been successful in these implementations thanks to the active engagement of his team of employees, which he selects depending on their sensitivity towards environmental concerns. #EUEcolabel #CircularEconomy www.ecolabel.eu
