Tourism quality certification
It is our commitment that the territory has distinguished tourism quality seals to make this destination a unique place. Tourism quality seals are the materialization of a constant commitment to continuous improvement.
The European Charter for Sustainable Tourism (CETS) in Protected Natural Areas is an initiative of the EUROPARC Federation whose overall objective is to promote the development of tourism in terms of sustainability in the protected natural areas of Europe. The CETS is a method and a voluntary commitment to apply the principles of sustainable tourism, guiding managers of protected natural spaces and companies to define their strategies in a participatory manner.
Ecotourism is a way of traveling to approach and get to know natural spaces in a responsible manner, respecting their balance, minimizing environmental impacts and enjoying them through the experiences offered by companies committed to nature conservation. When we do ecotourism we not only get to know and enjoy the places we visit, but we also protect their values (natural, cultural, ethnographic, gastronomic, etc.), favoring an opportunity for sustainable development in these territories.
The quality of the skies of Molina-Alto Tajo are valued with the highest Starlight certification for astronomical tourism. Since January 2021 they have been a Starlight Reserve.
A Starlight Reserve is a protected natural space where a commitment is established to defend the quality of the night sky and access to starlight.
Our Geopark is a place with the best conditions for astronomical observation.
This certificate establishes a commitment to the defense of the quality of the sky, access to starlight and the different associated values, whether cultural, scientific, astronomical, landscape or natural.
Main requirements:
