From Biosphere we would like to congratulate Gijón for the efforts made in line with sustainability. Despite the devastating situation that the pandemic has brought for tourism, the destination has continued to work to carry out sustainable actions and activities.

Not only that, but this time they are including their business network in the process, with 27 entities having already joined the Biosphere Sustainable Lifestyle platform through the sustainable commitment acquired by the destination. Thanks to this tool for sustainability management, its companies will be able to create a fully personalised sustainability plan, as well as having the opportunity to share and pool best practices among themselves.

Of these 27 companies, the following have already achieved the Biosphere Committed distinction: Parador de Gijón Molino Viejo, Hotel Tryp Rey Pelayo or El Olivar de Noega, among others, a recognition that shows that the entities have started to adopt sustainable activities in line with the 17 SDGs and the 2030 Agenda.
