Sustainability Actions
Sustainable tourism aims to develop its activity while generating a minimal impact on the environment. The main key is that the exploitation of a resource is below its renewal limit. That is, it is about promoting tourism that is respectful of the ecosystem, with minimal impact on the environment and local culture. Furthermore, the economic aspect seeks to generate employment and income for the native population. Join the cause!
