CO2-neutral Conference-Tourism

The richly varying landscape between Binnenland and the Baltic coast offers conference attendees to hold memorable seminars, incentives and conferences, a chance to savour a break from the average working day. In order to sustain the stunning nature in this region, MeetMV, the conference scheme, are key participants in the ‘climate scheme forests’.

MeetMV presents the following typical scenarios in conference-tourism:

Scenario 1 “Conference”:

• duration of conference: 1 day
• travelling distance: 50km by train
• no overnight stay
• conference and evening event
  

Such an event generates – per conference-attendee – approximately 17 kg of carbon dioxide.

Scenario 2 “Congress”:

• duration of event: 3 days
• travelling distance: 250 km per passenger car (of a medium-size)
• 3 overnight stays in a 4* Hotel
• conference, excursion and evening event
  

Such an event generates – per congress-attendee – 162 kg of carbon dioxide.

Owing to the help of the forest share scheme, indigenous trees are planted in a 10m2 area, resulting in just under 900 kg of carbon dioxide being trapped. Consequently, this can counterbalance the CO2 emissions of 45 conference attendees who travel a distance of 50 km (as outlined in scenario 1), and respectively 5 attendees of a 3 day congress who travel a distance of 250 km (as outlined in scenario 2).
