What was the division of responsibility between Katka, Veronika & Tereza? We worked together on the first part during the trip - I just uploaded it.

Very well written in English. Thanks :)

Is the beer spa concept really so original? It's possible to experience beer spas in CZ too. Don't you think the more original concept was to create a guest house resembling something from the Middle Ages? Both ideas (beer-spa concept and middle ages design) are original but definitely not completely unique - there's a "middle ages" hotel also in the Czech Republic - http://www.stredovekyhotel.cz/. Anyway, we think it makes the place much more interesting for visitors.

Well done - you obviously developed your wiki skills over the course of this exercise.

  • I would say 'properly' compensated rather than 'equally' compensated
  • It's a good and important point you make about creating greater awareness of the benefits of localised production through firsthand experience of products from the perspective of all three pillars of SD - using local products cuts down on environmental damage, it creates a greater sense of social worth and belonging if local growers and employees feel they're contributing to a greater good that they can see in their local community, and of course to supports a sustainable local economy without the need for outside assistance (apart from purchasers of the products)
  • Is the idea of the Gleisdorf hotel really good enough? It hadn't really opened yet when we visited, so the jury is still out on whether it will be a success (although of course we suspect it will be) ;)
