The Eivissa council is set to organise two informative sessions on the SICTED programme (Sistema Integral de Calidad Turística Española en Destinaciones) tomorrow at the Casal d'Igualtat. These sessions aim to promote the incorporation of local businesses and professionals into this initiative focused on enhancing the quality of tourism.
The sessions will be divided into two time slots to accommodate the varying schedules and needs of different professional sectors. The first session will take place at 10:00 AM, targeting the restaurant and hospitality sectors, while the second session will occur at 2:00 PM, aimed at retail businesses and other establishments.
As a destination participating in the programme, the Eivissa council seeks to engage the local business community in a collaborative project that advances towards a tourism model centred on quality, sustainability, and responsibility. To facilitate participation, the council will cover the initial membership costs for new businesses joining the SICTED programme, thereby removing barriers to access and encouraging more establishments to reap its benefits.
Benefits of the programme include access to specialised training, tools for improving business management, the adoption of best practices, and the opportunity to obtain the 'Compromiso de Turismo Responsable' quality and sustainability badge, which recognises establishments committed to continuous improvement.
The informative sessions will provide attendees with firsthand knowledge of the programme's operation, participation requirements, commitments involved in joining, and the steps necessary to apply for the quality badge. The SICTED programme, promoted by the Secretary of State for Tourism, aims to foster continuous improvement in tourism services, sustainability, and competitiveness of destinations through the implementation of best practices and tools that enhance business management and visitor experiences.
