After the ceremony, the CEO of CETT, Dr Maria Abellanet Meya, said: "Tourism is an intrinsic part of society and shares with it a series of challenges and responsibilities that must be considered in the responsible development of its activity to generate a tangible positive contribution to the territory: To offer quality tourism experiences; to generate cultural and leisure activities and products of interest to everyone; to provide decent professional conditions and development; to make a reasonable and fair use of natural resources or to be curious about the culture of the destination, among many others, etc. Changes that must be able to respond to the aspirations of tourists, people working in the sector, local residents, and society. In this sense, the Alimara Awards and their different categories are also evolving. They have adapted to new realities over the years and reward experiences, sustainability, digitization, and knowledge generation," said Dr. Abellanet.
