In a world increasingly aware of human impact on the environment, sustainable tourism has stopped being a trend and become a necessity. Travelers are no longer just looking to enjoy unique landscapes, but to do so in a way that respects the environment, preserving its beauty and culture for future generations.
At Hotel Villa Engracia, located in Les Masies de l’Espluga de Francolí, we embrace this responsibility as an essential part of our philosophy.
Sustainable tourism is tourism that meets the needs of travelers and host communities without compromising the natural or cultural resources of the destination. It’s not just about reducing environmental impact, but also about contributing to the economic and social development of the region.
In practice, this can mean choosing responsible accommodations, engaging in nature-friendly activities, and supporting local businesses that promote ethical and sustainable practices.
This Catalan region is a perfect destination for those who wish to reconnect with nature and history in an idyllic setting. Surrounded by mountains and vineyards, it combines dreamlike landscapes with a rich cultural heritage, such as the Monastery of Poblet, a UNESCO World Heritage site, or the charming medieval towns like Montblanc and L’Espluga del Francolí.
Moreover, the region offers a wide variety of outdoor activities, from hiking trails in the Poblet Natural Park to visits to wineries that focus on organic viticulture. Enjoying these resources with respect and admiration not only enriches our experience as tourists but also ensures that others can do the same in the future.
At Hotel Villa Engracia, we believe that sustainable tourism is a collective responsibility. That’s why we have implemented measures to reduce our environmental impact and promote an eco-friendlier model. From the use of renewable energy to efficient water management, and the promotion of local products in our restaurant, we are committed to sustainability.
For this reason, we encourage our guests to join this effort. We offer activities that minimize the ecological footprint, such as exploring nearby trails on foot or by bike, and provide information on how to enjoy the region in the most sustainable way possible.
