Sustainability and resilience
Sustainability is essential: responsible tourism management is needed, one that respects the environment, the local lifestyle and the daily activities in the city. The measures should support the resilience of the sector to help address impacts such as drought or extreme temperatures.
Barcelona is fully committed to promoting a model of sustainable tourism development that benefits the entire local population and enhances environmental, economic and social sustainability, improves working conditions, creates new quality jobs and ensures a more equitable distribution of economic benefits. The goal is to continue promoting sustainability as an essential future objective for the tourist city and to ensure the maximum possible social return from these activities.
To support the transition of Barcelona’s business structure towards sustainability, it is essential to continue promoting the culture of sustainable tourism among the city’s businesses and tourism services. It is also important to maintain official certification for tourism operators who commit to responsible management that respects the environment, culture, working conditions, gender equity, and social and economic return.
