A firm commitment to sustainability
Ecotourism Commitment of the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park
In the Natural Park Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas we have been working on sustainability since 2004 when it was accredited with the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism (CETS) by the EUROPARC Federation.
This is a European accreditation for protected natural areas that have demonstrated their practical commitment to sustainable tourism by working as a team with other stakeholders in the territory, developing and implementing a participatory tourism strategy and action plan applying sustainability criteria and adapted to the particularities of the territory, in order to improve the environmental, social and economic viability of tourism. The certification is renewed every 5 years, for which it is necessary to demonstrate that the action plan has been implemented and a new one has been prepared with the same requirements for the next five years.
