Valencia, third Spanish city awarded as European Green Capital 2024 and Lanzarote, beautiful island in the Canary archipelago, the first destination in the world to have obtained the Biosphere Responsible Tourism certification, together establish Spain as one of the most advanced points of green tourism at international level.
The director of Visit Valencia, guest at the Spain Talks in Milan commented that to celebrate the title awarded the city is part of a continuation this year with the intention to extend the Turia Garden by a further kilometer and a half.
The gardens are a huge green space ideal for walking, cycling, enjoying recreational areas that was once the bed of a river and it is today with a green space of over 9 kilometers one of the largest urban natural parks of Spain.
The city's goal is to move cruise landings away from 2026, although the latest Strategic Tourism Plan 2024 - 2028 has recognized the enormous contribution of visitors produced by the segment with a forecast of 820 thousand cruise passengers in 2024 with an increase of + 90% compared to 2019.
The presence of the airline Ryanair has increased arrivals at Valencian Airport of Manises by 20%, making it likely to exceed 10 million passengers during the season.
The Director of Tourism Lanzarote has stated that the commitment to sustainability implies the recognition of a limit of access and currently it is the citizens themselves who claim it.
As significant note In 2023, Lanzarote welcomed 2.69 million foreign tourists which led to a staggering 7,500 holiday homes.
