The “National Tourism Plan Xacobeo 2021-2022”, published by Spanish Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Tourism in 2021, aims to enhance the cultural and historical significance of the Camino de Santiago through sustainable tourism initiatives. It focuses on sustainable tourism development by maintaining and rehabilitating historical heritage sites, developing new tourism products and experiences, implementing digital technologies to create smart tourist destinations, and promoting the Camino globally to attract international tourists. 

Additionally, the plan emphasizes collaboration and governance, encouraging cooperation between public and private sectors. Supported by over 121 million euros from the European Union’s Next Generation EU program, this comprehensive strategy seeks to preserve the Camino for future generations while boosting its appeal and accessibility.
