Best Tourist Destination quality 2011

The secretary-general of Tourism and Domestic Trade, Joan Mesquite, today presented the award for Best Tourist Destination of quality, awarded to the city of San Sebastian, the mayor of the same, Odon Eliza. The award recognizes the commitment of the city of San Sebastian with the Quality System in Tourism Destination (SICTED) for the competitiveness of enterprises.

The award recognizes the efforts of the municipality to promote this quality system, from the public-private coordination to the training of entrepreneurs in terms of quality and collaboration of the Basque Government and Basque tourism agency Basque tour.

Quality is a constant in the Basque country and the fate of San Sebastian in particular, being the first municipality to join the SICTED. The city of San Sebastian has been, therefore, a benchmark for all other destinations Basques, who have joined the Quality System, sponsored by the General Secretariat of Tourism, in 2010.

Thus, the Basque Country now has 17 destinations renowned for their quality, which makes it the region with more destinations SICTED after the agreement signed in October 2009 in quality between the General Secretariat of Tourism and Commerce Interior and the Basque Government.
