Galicia Destino Sostible

Our sustainable destination model

Sustainability is a quality that must be applied, comprehensively and from a global vision, to development models so that they take into account the environmental, economic and social repercussions, both present and future, in such a way that they favor some without compromising to the others.

Sustainable tourism is one that:

1. gives optimal use to natural resources, contributing to the conservation of bio and geodiversity;
2. regards the sociocultural identity of the local population, valuing and protecting their heritage and traditions, and enabling local communities to take part in two governance processes;
3. guarantee viable long-term economic activities, adequately distributing economic benefits, returning income and services to the local population, creating stable and inclusive employment and reducing poverty.
