As part of a strategic co-operation between Tivoli and the Danish hotel group Arp-Hansen, Tivoli is also involved in two major developments with interest for the meetings industry: The construction of the 3-star “Tivoli Hotel” scheduled to open in summer 2010 and with a capacity of 400 rooms - AND the new “ Tivoli Congress Centre” scheduled to open in late 2010 and with a capacity of up to 4,000 persons. |

Tivoli needs 8.5 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year and gets this from wind power made by "The Tivoli Wind Turbine" - one of the large wind turbines at the Avedøre Power Station nearby. Tivoli is also a member of the City of Copenhagen's “KLIMA+ network” which provides inspiration and shares knowledge with other companies in order to continue to reduce energy consumption.
