We are pleased to announce that Hotel Arc La Rambla is now part of the organizations with the distinction of Biosphere Barcelona standard for Commitment to Sustainable Tourism.

Barcelona Sustainable Destination

Barcelona has held a Biosphere certificate since 2011, as an urban destination committed to sustainability. The companies located in the Barcelona area can join the Biosphere Barcelona standard for Commitment to Sustainable Tourism.

What is the Barcelona Biosphere Commitment?

The Biosphere Barcelona standard for Commitment to Sustainable Tourism is awarded to tour operators who are committed to responsible and environmentally-friendly management, to culture, to decent working conditions, to gender equity and to social and economic benefits.

It is important, especially under the current situation, to make sustainability a fundamental principle of tourism companies. This commitment is not a static state, but a path of continuous improvement that our Hotel has chosen to advance.
