Landscape and tourism
The landscape is a fundamental ingredient in most trips. In a country of landscapes such as Catalonia, with such high richness and diversity of landscapes, the landscape has - and will play even more in the future - a key role in answering the new questions of contemporary tourism. All over the world, the most successful tourism policies with full guarantees of survival in the future revolve around strategies for the promotion and preservation of the landscape, whether natural, rural or urban. And the consideration of landscape values in tourism policies is key to achieving the objectives of the European Landscape Convention and the Catalan Landscape Law.
