V-Label award

Bad Tatzmannsdorf, 17.10.2024 

The gastronomy at REDUCE Gesundheitsresort Bad Tatzmannsdorf has been officially awarded the prestigious V-Label. This award, presented by Felix Hnat, Chairman of the Vegan Society of Austria, recognizes the resort's long-standing commitment to integrating a vegan diet into its culinary concept. Since 2017, vegan cuisine has been an integral part of the resort's health-oriented offering and the REDUCE brand.

ABOUT THE V-LABEL
The V-Label has been labeling vegan and vegetarian products in Austria for 20 years now. Originally from Switzerland, it can now be found all over the world. The label is awarded by various vegan-vegetarian organizations. In Austria, only the Vegan Society Austria awards the V-Label. Did you know that Austria is the country with the highest percentage of vegan and meatless people? You can find all further information here.  

VEGAN CUISINE—HERE TO STAY
“We want to spark interest in plant-based dishes and inspire our guests to try making them at home. For us, the V-Label is another step toward further strengthening our commitment to mindful eating, health, and enjoyment. Receiving the V-Label validates our approach and motivates us to continue expanding our offerings.” explains Andreas Leitner, managing director of the “ REDUCE ” health resort. "For us, healthy eating isn’t just a trend—it’s a crucial component of our holistic health concept. With our vegan cuisine, we offer our guests the opportunity to enjoy mindful, healthy meals without having to sacrifice variety or flavor."

POSITIVE GUEST FEEDBACK AS MOTIVATION
The resort’s vegan focus has been enthusiastically embraced by guests. Numerous reviews on hotel portals particularly praise the vegan dining options—from breakfast to the 5-course dinner menu—at the Reduce Hotel Vital ****S and the Reduce Hotel Thermal ****S. And more and more often, guests are choosing to stay at spa hotels for a wellness retreat or GVA (Active Health Prevention) program specifically because of the vegan offerings. Receiving the Vegan Label is not the end, but rather the beginning of an even stronger focus on mindful nutrition and healthy indulgence. Markus Leitgeb, F&B Manager at the Reduce health resort, explains: “We’re seeing growing demand from our guests for healthy, sustainable meals. Based on their preferences, we’re constantly refining this menu with passion and creativity.”

MEAT CONSUMPTION ON THE DECLINE
"According to the EU Smart Protein Project, Austria is the European champion in the number of vegan and vegetarian people - a total of 10% do without meat. Last year alone, meat consumption per person fell by 1.7 kg per year. I am therefore all the more pleased that Austria now has the first spa resort in Europe with V-Label certification. Both the REDUCE spa hotels and the two REDUCE 4*S thermal spa hotels are also real role models." emphasizes Felix Hnat, Chairman of the Vegan Society of Austria.

VEGAN AND HEALTH AWARENESS - HAND IN HAND
The resort's commitment to a vegan diet is in line with the hotel's health standards. "Veganism and an awareness of a healthy lifestyle go hand in hand. A balanced plant-based diet not only supports well-being, but is also an important element in the prevention of many diseases," explains Andreas Leitner. The culinary offering at the resort sees vegan food as a way of offering guests not only enjoyment, but also added health benefits. Guests will find the vegan selection of dishes creatively prepared at every meal as an inspiring alternative to traditional cuisine.
