L’Ametlla de Mar among the first 4 municipalities to become part of the MARITIME VILLAGES OF CATALONIA, the new tourist brand of the Generalitat.

The brand targets coastal towns that preserve the culture linked to the sea. The landscapes and marine natural spaces, the material and immaterial cultural heritage, and/or the systems of interpretation and valuation that give them identity and allow offering experiences related to maritime and fishing life.

To be part of the brand, each municipality must submit its application by providing a dossier that meets a series of requirements. This dossier will be evaluated and validated by a committee of experts, consisting of outstanding and recognized professionals from different fields and representatives of the Catalan Tourism Agency, based on compliance with historic-cultural, landscape, environmental, gastronomic requirements, and promotion of events.

Being part of the MARITIME VILLAGES brand means having access to marketing and communication actions of the Catalan Tourism Agency, participating in tourist promotion actions under the new brand, having access to the sales channel to help businesses visualize and commercialize our tourist offer, reaching agreements with media, accessing market intelligence reports issued periodically by the tourism promotion centers of Catalonia worldwide, as well as social networks with more than a million followers.

This is the second certification received by L’Ametlla de Mar from the Generalitat of Catalonia, as it is already part of the municipalities certified as Sports Tourism Destinations (light sailing modality).
