The First World Charter for Sustainable Tourism turns 30.

Thirty years after the adoption of the First World Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Lanzarote, its message remains more relevant than ever. This commemoration invites us to reflect on the progress and challenges of sustainable tourism, as well as to renew the global commitment to a fairer, regenerative model aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. On July 2, 2025, Lanzarote will once again become the epicenter of this movement with the revision of this charter.
