Turismo Sostenible

• The new site is more intuitive and incorporates filters to more quickly choose the sustainable experiences offered by members of the GDS Product Club.
• ‘Galicia Sustainable Destination’ has more than 100 member companies and has more than 140 sustainable experiences, and remains open to receiving new members.

The ‘Galicia Sustainable Destination’ Product Club is an initiative promoted by the Galician Tourism Cluster, with the support of the Xunta de Galicia, whose main objective is to highlight and integrate the Galician tourism offer that promotes the sustainable development of the destination, seeking position itself as a reference both nationally and internationally. This tourism product club covers various facets of the Galician offer, promoting respect for the environment, culture and society.

Through its online platform, galiciadestinostible.com, the Club serves as a meeting point between tourists and companies, facilitating access to the wide range of sustainable tourism offerings in Galicia. The tourist brand launches a renewed web image, building a more attractive and intuitive site for visitors, and incorporating filters to more quickly choose the sustainable experiences offered by members of the Product Club. Now, the multimedia material adds more prominence, highlighting the images of each of the associates’ experiences: from camper, boat, bicycle or walking routes, to tourist packages that offer adventure, sports, gastronomy, wine culture and accommodation.

Promotion of sustainable tourism

The new website also promotes sustainable tourism. Now, visitors will be able to find information about what it means to enjoy a sustainable experience, and about being a responsible tourist through knowledge, consumption, enjoyment and appreciation of sustainable tourism products and experiences.
