  • Grecotel Breaks New Ground in 2018 €42 Million in Investments, 630 New Jobs
    Grecotel Breaks New Ground in 2018 €42 Million in Investments, 630 New Jobs 5 Spectacular Property Remodels Including Corfu Imperial Grecotel Exclusive Resort Athens, 28 July 2018 Grecotel, Greece’s leading luxury hotel group, has completed a wide investment project exceeding €42 million and creating 630 new jobs. The largest employer of the Greek hotel industry, Grecotel currently has 6,100 employees. In response to the modern needs of luxury tourism, the investment plan includes the remodelling of 5 hotel complexes in 4 of the country's top tourist destinations. Upgrades have been made to 780 guestrooms, 40 dining venues and 155 acres of open-air infrastructure. In particular, the N. Daskalantonakis Group – Grecotel business plan incorporated developments to Corfu Imperial Grecotel Exclusive Resort, Daphnila Bay Dassia Grecotel LUX ME Resort, the new Casa Marron Grecotel All-In Resort (formerly Lakopetra Beach), Pella Beach Grecotel Family Resort and Rhodos Royal Grecotel All-In Resort. Managing Director Mari Daskalandonakis said: "The remodelling of Grecotel hotels is continuous. It is a legacy and a precursor to the creation of ‘third generation’ units in Greece, which elevates the country's tourism product and shields it from the competition. Corfu Imperial Grecotel Exclusive Resort, for example, our flagship property in Corfu, was already a leading hotel; its present day marks the passage into the new era and dominance as an emblematic destination of the highest standards of hospitality and service in the Med.” Grecotel expects a 7% increase in overnight stays and a 9% increase in turnover for 2018 compared to the same period last year, according to Daskalandonakis.

  • Air Travel, Life-Style, Energy Use and Environmental Impact
    Air travel, life-style, energy use and environmental impact Stefan Kruger Nielsen Ph.D. dissertation September 2001 Financed by the Danish Energy Agency’s Energy Research Programme Department of Civil Engineering Technical University of Denmark Building 118 DK-2800 Kgs. Lyngby Denmark http://www.bvg.dtu.dk 2001 DISCLAIMER Portions of this document may be illegible in electronic image products. Images are produced from the best available original document Report BYG DTU R-021 2001 ISSN 1601-2917 ISBN 87-7877-076-9 Executive summary This summary describes the results of a Ph.D. study that was carried out in the Energy Planning Group, Department for Civil Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, in a three-year period starting in August 1998 and ending in September 2001. The project was funded by a research grant from the Danish Energy Research Programme. The overall aim of this project is to investigate the linkages between energy use, life style and environmental impact. As a case of study, this report investigates the future possibilities for reducing the growth in greenhouse gas emissions from commercial civil air transport, that is passenger air travel and airfreight. The reason for this choice of focus is that we found that commercial civil air transport may become a relatively large energy consumer and greenhouse gas emitter in the future. For example, according to different scenarios presented by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), commercial civil air transport's fuel burn may grow by between 0,8 percent a factor of 1,6 and 16 between 1990 and 2050. The actual growth in fuel consumption will depend on the future growth in airborne passenger travel and freight and the improvement rate for the specific fuel efficiency.
