Sustainability finds a home in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria has been awarded the demanding ‘Biosphere Destination’ seal, also earning a spot in the top fifteen European destinations with the most certified accommodation.

Gran Canaria takes care of you and itself. The island embraces its primary sector and invites us all to eat local produce. It also raises awareness on responsible water use and caring for natural resources, from its oceans and beaches to its forests and summits. These are examples of a global commitment which implicates not only public administrations but also the private sector. For a while now, all Gran Canaria’s paths have been leading to the same place: the need to be an increasingly sustainable tourist destination.
