The sustainable Maresme
Maresme is committed to sustainability
Sustainability has become the central axis of the Costa de Barcelona Maresme destination, which is actively dedicated to ensuring that all components of the tourism value chain are oriented towards tourism sustainability. Companies and services operating in the destination can aspire to be certified with quality seals such as Biosphere Certified. Certification in which the Tourism Consortium plays an important role.
The Costa de Barcelona Maresme destination has been distinguished, since 2017, with the Biosphere Sustainable Committed, which recognizes efforts to guarantee environmental, social, cultural and economic benefits to the destination. This includes, among others, the protection of natural and cultural resources, the promotion of responsible tourism and the improvement of the quality of life of local inhabitants.
However, destinations, companies and entities that benefit from certifications are not fully sustainable. However, they are in a process of continuous improvement.
Maresme entities have also received other recognitions, such as the Blue Flag, the Q de Calidad or the Distintiu de Garantia de Qualitat Ambiental.
In conclusion, the Costa de Barcelona Maresme destination is committed to sustainability in tourism. With the actions that are carried out, we continue to move towards a more responsible tourism future, preserving the natural and cultural heritage for future generations.
