| GREENTECH @ RUSANDA SPA ECO-TOURISM FESTIVAL |
|
Being a region of outstanding natural features, with still no formal legal protection, Rusanda Spa has established itself as an ideal venue for staging the present event. In addition to being an active spa resort, the site is one of the European few preserved salt marsh areas, and as such holds a great variety of distinctive plant and animal species. The steps were therefore taken, at the festival organizers’ initiative, to ensure the natural resort isprotected by law, with promises of one of the festival’s introductory speaker (Mr. Slobodan PUZOVIĆ, PhD, Provincial Secretary for Urban Planning, Construction and Environmental Protection) that it would happen in the near future, i.e. that Rusanda Spa would be declared a natural park.
Greentech Ltd Novi Sad has provided its support to the Festival and area protection initiative, installing corporate info booth, with visitors being able to learn regarding the company activities as well as its irrefutable natural protection role. Special PET collecting container was set up at the scene, with content thereof being sent for recycling in the immediate aftermath of the festival.
