We echo the words of the newspaper El Día to announce the award received "For good practices in tourism sustainability":
Tenerife Tourism recognised on 05/12/2018 institutions, companies and citizens for their commitment to the sustainability of the tourism sector.
This year, 31 projects were submitted to the competitions, 17 to the competition aimed at citizens and another 14 to the one for companies and administrations.
The president of the Cabildo, Carlos Alonso, emphasised during the event that "the identitythe quality and the sustainability are key elements in tourism activity and this is the model we want and are developing in Tenerife".
For his part, the vice-president and island councillor for Tourism, Alberto Bernabé, praised the efforts of the award winners "who have in common their conviction for sustainability".
Bernabé pointed out that tourists consume many more natural resources than residents because of their own holiday behaviour "and it is necessary to infect them with the idea that this island is a fragile ecosystem that must be cared for".

As for the competition "For good practices in sustainable tourism", aimed at the local population, the winner was the project entitled "Recovery of the windmill and creation of the gofio interpretation centre".
The idea, which is being developed in La Laguna, focuses on the renewable energies, create five jobs, recover abandoned land, contribute to sustaining biodiversity and promote the consumption of "zero kilometre" products.
The finalist in this category was Remo Tenerife, a proposal whose aim is to promote and develop this nautical activity on the island.
The event also served to recognise the approximately 200 volunteers who participated in the thirty or so actions promoted by the Cabildo.

This is how we offer experiences: from Sustainability
Sendaecoway is committed to sustainability, an idea that is strengthened by the area of Environment and Sustainability from Cabildo of Tenerife that together with the Chamber of Commerce of Santa Cruz, granted to Ecoway Path the certificate Sustainable + Companies.
Since our beginnings, we have remained firm and faithful to our values, despite the economic difficulties that are always associated with any business start-up.
We believe in the Sustainable Tourism and we lead by example.
We discard ideas because they deviate from our motto and, despite this, and with a lot of effort on the part of our team, we have managed to create an extensive catalogue of unique experiences which continues to grow.
In the conception of these we have been committed from the beginning not only to make you enjoy like nobody else, but also to do it with the maximum respect for the environment.
Unique experiences because they are different, original, because they combine the best in a single product designed for you.
We move forward because we believe and we believe because we move forward. We are driven by a blind faith in what we do and the knowledge that sustainable tourism is possible.
Our thanks to all those customers who, like you, have believed in us and to the Cabildo of Tenerife and the Chamber of Commerce of Santa Cruz for the award of the certificate Empresas + Sostenibles, of which we feel enormously proud.
We would also like to congratulate the 17 other initiatives that, like us, have received their certificate.
We go on!
