Entries are also invited for a second competition of the most sustainable tourism in which people can contribute their ideas related to tourism management more respectful of the environment. The deadline for submitting proposals to both competitions will remain open until next October 14th and the rules and conditions of participation can be consulted at the following address: https: //https://ift.tt/2w6DjkC. Tourism councillor, Alberto Bernabé said: “The objective is to promote sustainable tourism, promote cooperation in the sector, make visible actions respectful with the environment and involve the public in its management.” This edition also comes with new features since, on this occasion, the rules are strictly linked to the sustainable development goals. The so-called Agenda2030, agreed by the international community, has 17 objectives that include everything from the elimination of poverty to the fight against climate change, education, women’s equality, the defence of the environment or the design of our cities. “Tourism of Tenerife has prioritised those objectives which have a direct link with the tourism sector, those related to the sustainable management of water, the economy, employment, ocea-ns, seas and marine resources or terrestrial ecosystems,” he explained. In this new edition, creativity and innovation will also be scored, as well as technical and organisational feasibility and economic viability. Likewise, the inclusion in the projects of the measurement and compensation of the carbon footprint will be positively valued. All the proposals will be evaluated by a jury of experts and, in the case of the contest directed to the population, will also be submitted to the popular vote. The professional com-petition will include four different categories so that the entire sector that represents and each participant compete under equal conditions. These are: good sustainable practice in local administrations, better product or sustainable services in the nature tourism sector, good sustainable practice in tourist accommodation (hotel and non-hotel) and best sustainable tourism practice.
