For Sustainable Tourism
Mission accomplished
With this certification we want to:

- Connect with clients motivated by the development of sustainable practices.
- Help generate demand for sustainable tourism products.
Biosphere Responsible Tourism seal guarantees that a destination or tourism company applies a model of environmentally sustainable, socially inclusive and universally accessible tourism. It is the adaptation to tourism of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
The Biosphere (BIOSPHERE©) certification is granted by the Responsible Tourism Institute (RTI), an independent body created in 1995 with the aim of promoting sustainable development actions and programs in tourist destinations and companies. The RTI was born supported by UNESCO through a Memorandum of Understanding that has made possible the development of activities, projects and cooperation events between both organizations. The RTI is a founding member of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), sponsored by the United Nations Foundation.
