At the Barcelona Provincial Council's Tourism Services Department, we work to promote sustainable and responsible tourism that contributes to the social and economic development of the municipalities in the province of Barcelona.
Our strategic lines of work are structured via the Technical Office, which is responsible for promoting and supporting tourism development in the region, and the Tourism Marketing Office, which is in charge of promotion using the Barcelona is Much More brand to showcase the range of tourist attractions and services that Barcelona has to offer.
We work to develop respectful tourism that has a positive impact on the region and preserves the environment and nature. That is why sustainability is a cross-cutting theme in all our lines of work. We promote the Biosphere Certification, both in companies and institutions, to create a sustainable tourism ecosystem that ensures present and future well-being.
Action areas:
- Promoting territorial groups and business groups in order to achieve high-quality, competitive tourism.
- Contributing to boosting tourism in the area through the management of funding for investment in infrastructures and tourism activities managed within the Local Government Network programme.
- Participating in consortia for the promotion of tourism throughout the province.
- Promoting the creation and improvement of tourist offices.
- Managing tourism marketing and communication tools and media through the Barcelona is Much More brand, in order to position the tourism offering of the province of Barcelona in various outbound markets.
