Our service for visitors

• Disabled-friendly facilities
  The expo complex was designed to consider access for people with various degrees of disability. Roads, concourses and entrances are all more or less on one level, with no steps to be navigated to reach access points. The meeting rooms on the first floor can be easily reached in a number of lifts.
• Disabled-friendly parking facilities
  There are plenty of parking spaces for guests with a restricted degree of mobility. They are situated right outside the entrances at P1, P5, P7 and P8.
• Disabled-friendly cloakrooms and toilets
  There is also barrier-free access to our disabled-friendly toilets for guests in wheelchairs.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility measures include:

Mobility:

• All events held at Messezentrum Salzburg and in the Salzburgarena can be attended conveniently by using public transport. Cooperation with Salzburg AG enables visitors to ride to and from fairs at the venue, and events organised by Messezentrum Salzburg GmH, free of charge.
• If required, a shuttle bus service is organised to take visitors parking at the nearby football stadium in Kleßheim to and from the expo complex.
• On site at the exhibition centre there are two charging stations for electric cars. More information can be found HERE.

Energy

• Messezentrum Salzburg sources exclusively green electricity from Salzburg AG. This power is generated by small local hydroelectric power plants in the Salzburg region.
• There are photovoltaic panels mounted to some of the expo hall rooftops.
• Daylight in the expo halls generates a pleasant atmosphere and helps to reduce electricity consumption.
• All spots and strip lights are fitted with fluorescent lamps.
• There are motion sensors in the corridors, hallways and toilets to avoid power consumption when facilities are not in use.
• All ventilation and air conditioning systems have been fitted with heat retrieval technology.

Water

• Water is used sparingly due to the installation of water-saving taps in most of the toilets and washrooms.
• Environmentally friendly cleaning products are used to reduce groundwater pollution.

Waste disposal

• There are special waste container islands all around the expo complex to allow waste to be disposed of according to type.
• Experienced waste disposal professionals provide expert support with waste separation tasks.

Catering

• Regionally grown and seasonally produced goods from certified suppliers are given priority when catering for guests at exhibitions, trade fairs, congresses and events. This cuts down the transportation distances, thus minimising CO² emissions and ensuring that all food arrives on the visitor’s plate in a pristine condition.

Events that bear the ‘Green Meeting’ or ‘Green Event’ badge can show that the organisers are highly responsible and demonstrate an environmentally sustainable approach to the following:

• Regional profit generation and social responsibility
• Guests travel to and from the fair by environmentally friendly means
• Guests are catered for with environmentally sustainable products
• Regionally, seasonally and organically-produced foods for all forms of catering
• Low-resource-consumption material management and environmentally friendly purchasing
• Avoid waste and guarantee environmentally friendly waste disposal

Organisers of ‘Green Meetings’ and ‘Green Events’ are expected to meet a variety of criteria that can be checked with a software application especially created for the task.

Our employees are given specialised training to ensure these criteria are adhered to. As well as the benefits for the environment, these measures guarantee our guests also enjoy a very pleasant show.
