Since 2007, June 2 has been celebrated on World Responsible Tourism Day, this year in Madrid we will celebrate it on the 3rd and we will have the pleasure of participating as moderators of the event.
The UNWTO has marked 2014 as the year in which tourism must focus on becoming an instrument of benefit for local communities, something that we applaud and have been working on for many years now.
From International Coalition for Responsible Tourism (CITR) Since World Day is held every year in many countries around the world, a motto has been chosen for 2014: “Social and solidarity, the values for innovative tourism.”
Values that we fully share since Spanish Center for Responsible Tourism (CETR) and Spanish Association of Tourism Professionals (AEPT) organizers of this event.
More information about the presentation on June 3 in Madrid.
We encourage you to register and share the afternoon of June 3, committed to spreading and promoting the values of Responsible tourism.
Regards and see you.
