The Ministry of Industry and Tourism of Spain has published an article covering the recent meeting of the Spanish Tourism Council (CONESTUR), where a unanimous declaration supporting responsible tourism was approved. This declaration focuses on advancing economic, social, and environmental sustainability while prioritizing citizen well-being. It outlines five key points: enhancing citizen well-being, respecting diversity, forming alliances for environmental protection, generating economic prosperity, and fostering collaboration among tourism stakeholders. In addition, the meeting highlighted progress in the Sustainable Tourism Strategy 2030, which aims to transform the tourism sector through a shared strategic agenda and continuous dialogue among public and private entities.
