Applications for the Green Key Programme are now open, with the deadline for new applications ending on the 31st of January 2025 and application renewals up to the 28th of February 2025.
Those companies that receive the ‘Green Key’ award fulfill a demanding set of environmental requirements. These promote responsible and sustainable tourism, through the recognition of tourist enterprises, local accommodations, campsites, restaurants, and conference centres that exercise good environmental and social practices. Furthermore, all those gaining recognition within the Green Key programme show that they value environmental management in their establishments and promote Environmental Education for Sustainability.

No Poverty
