This year’s motto was ‘Rediscovering our natural spaces’.

Promotion of Ecotourism

During this Wednesday morning, the first steps of the Ecotourism Plan of Catalonia were presented, which should serve to position the country as a territory that ensures the preservation of its natural spaces and promotes a sustainable and regenerative discovery of them. Elements that Torroella de Montgrí i l’Estartit has been working with for some time and that are reinforced within the framework of the Sustainability Plan that is being implemented in the municipality. The 20 years of the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism and how it has been implemented in Catalonia were also discussed. The day had two working tables on the ‘discovery of natural spaces in a responsible and healthy way’, and another on the ‘discovery of natural spaces in an inclusive and guided way’.
