The case study highlights the Adler-Bärental hotel in Germany, which offers 17 beautifully decorated rooms in a traditional style. Renowned for its excellent cuisine based on fresh, seasonal, and regional products, the hotel is well-known throughout the Black Forest. The owners actively participate in environmental activities, understanding that nature is their main asset for tourism. In 2012, they introduced environmental management practices, including renewable energy use, energy conservation, waste management, and eco-friendly cleaning products. This commitment to sustainability and regional cuisine not only enhances the guest experience but also helps preserve the unique Black Forest countryside, benefiting local farmers, restaurateurs, and customers alike.
