An Initiative for Sustainable Tourism in Girona
An Initiative for Sustainable Tourism in Girona
During one of our community-focused events, we received a pleasant surprise: one of the representatives from Pam a Pam, the collaborative map for the social and solidarity economy in Catalonia, learned about our project and invited us to join their network. We were thrilled by this proposal and decided to become part of this valuable initiative.
What is Pam a Pam and What Do We Do at Can Cocollona?
Pam a Pam is a tool for social transformation, driven by community activism and various initiatives promoting the solidarity economy. Its mission is to support projects that foster positive change in society by strengthening local networks and promoting more equitable and sustainable economic practices.
At Can Cocollona, our commitment is focused on promoting responsible tourism and actively integrating into the local community. Our goal is for our accommodation to be not just a place where travelers feel at home, but also a space that creates a positive impact on the community and the environment. Collaborating with Pam a Pam reinforces our commitment to #SlowTravel and sustainable tourism.
A Significant Impact on the Traveling Community
In the Sant Narcís neighborhood, we have established a strong presence thanks to the robust social fabric and commitment to community initiatives. This partnership between Can Cocollona and Pam a Pam enriches both residents and visitors. In addition to providing accommodation, we organize activities open to the community, inviting locals to participate alongside travelers in events that promote cultural exchange and social cohesion.
A resident of Girona commented: “It’s gratifying to see how Can Cocollona integrates into our community. It’s not just a business; it’s a place where people meet and share. These kinds of partnerships are crucial for maintaining the essence of our neighborhoods while promoting more conscious tourism.”
The Value of Alliances
Our alliance with Pam a Pam highlights our goal of countering the negative effects of mass tourism and fostering a fairer and more sustainable economic model. However, being part of this network is just the beginning. It is crucial that more projects in Girona and around the world join this movement to make a truly significant impact.
With this collaboration, Girona has the opportunity to become a model for other cities seeking to balance tourism with sustainability and social justice.
What do you think about this new alliance? We’d love to hear your opinion!
Your perspective is important to us as we continue working to make Girona a benchmark for responsible and sustainable tourism.
