Clúster

During the conference, which will be held in London, the Galicia Sustainable Destination initiative will be presented.

This event will be attended by Cesáreo Pardal, president of the Tourism Cluster and Diego Otero, member of the Executive Council and member of the Evaluation Committee of Galicia Sustainable Destination.

The Spanish Tourist Office in the United Kingdom will celebrate in London, on April 26, the first Sustainability Day in Spain. The new challenges of tourism will be addressed through climate change, mass tourism or the impact of the health and economic crises. In turn, the sustainable initiatives that have been launched in Spain in recent years will be shown.

The event, which will consist of a conference during the day and the responsible tourism journalistic awards at night, will be attended by Cesáreo Pardal, president of the Tourism Cluster, and Diego Otero, member of the Executive Council and member of the Evaluation Committee of Galicia Sustainable Destination .

The conference, aimed at tour operators and specialized media, will feature several speakers, both Spanish and British, including Diego Otero, who will lead his speech based on “how we want the future of tourism to be”. To face the challenges that the sector will face in the coming years, such as overtourism or the reduction of the carbon footprint, from the Cluster we are committed to a tourism that adds people and the planet based on a more respectful and sustainable model. 

As a result of this commitment made by the Cluster for sustainability, Otero will present in his speech the “Galicia Sustainable Destination” Product Club, created with the intention of integrating all of Galicia’s sustainable tourism offer. This initiative currently has more than 70 member companies and nearly 140 offers published on its website. The club recognizes the growing importance of promoting sustainable tourism in today’s society. For this reason, its platform offers an easy way for companies and travelers to connect and access a wide range of sustainable tourism activities in Galicia.

Participation in Spain’s Sustainability Day will make it possible to publicize the work that the CTG is doing in terms of sustainability through Galicia Destino Sostible, our sustainable product club that we hope will continue to grow both in member companies and in published offers.
