The Sitges Town Council, as the town’s principal representative, has made a commitment to promote a tourism model based on environmental, cultural and socioeconomic sustainability, bearing in mind that both its residents, and a large number of visitors and tourists live and coexist in Sitges. To this end, in collaboration with the private sector and with the main agents involved in the destination’s tourism management, in 2016 it obtained the Biosphere Destination certification. Sitges continues its dedicated commitment to quality, environmental sustainability and social responsibility as a tourist destination, fundamental points for the international standard evaluated to grant the ‘Biosphere Destination’ certificate. In 2019, Sitges renewed this certification achieved in 2016. The implementation of the 2017-2022 Tourism Quality Plan and the current coastal and beach management system were the strong points of the audit. Biosphere Destination is a private, independent certification acknowledged worldwide by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) and promoted by the Responsible Tourism Instituto (RTI), an independent organism connected to UNESCO and a member affiliated with the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), which promotes a tourism put into practice via sustainable activities within the sphere of triple profitability: environmental, cultural and socioeconomic.In addition, in December 2017 the Garraf, Olèrdola and Foix parks received the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism Certification (CETS) managed by the Europarc Federation. The event took place at the European Parliament in Brussels and during the session, this certification was granted to a total of 21 parks in all of Europe committed to sustainable tourism in their protected areas. The Charter’s area of implementation also includes other protected areas like Colls & Miralpeix, the Garraf Coast and the Baix Llobregat – Garraf Maritime Area. The Garraf, Olèrdola and Foix parks, along with the rest of the well-known parks, are successful examples of the benefits that sustainable tourism strategies offer both nature and people. Receiving the CETS guarantees a use of the park for tourism that’s compatible with the territory’s conservation, minimizing the negative impacts and contributing to local economic development. With these latest additions, the CETS includes 20 countries, distributed all over Europe and united by a shared vision.
