Throughout its almost one hundred years of history, Paradores has sought to combine relaxation and leisure with excitement and learning experiences. And Civitatis, since its beginnings, has opened up a new world of tourism possibilities for travellers. Now, taking advantage of the start of the summer holidays, Paradores and Civitatis are launching a new joint proposal to expand and diversify the range of activities offered by Paradores. As a result of this programme, Paradores is making more than 4,000 Civitatis activities available to its customers in the different destinations where a Parador is located.
This programme comes at an ideal time for tourism in our country, with the summer holidays just around the corner. At Paradores, excellent occupancy levels are projected; at Civitatis, more than 1.8 million people booked one of its activities in Spain in 2022. This, together with the rise of tourism based on cultural and nature experiences, bodes well for the success of the alliance.
"At Paradores, we believe in quality tourism, which incorporates sustainable experiences and involves a greater knowledge of and connection with local culture. With Civitatis, we’re taking another step forward so that our customers can get to know and enjoy the destination through the leading platform in the sector," says Carlos Martínez, Business Director at Paradores.
Alberto Gutiérrez Pascual, CEO and Founder of Civitatis, was very happy after the closing of this agreement. "At Civitatis, we like to surround ourselves with the best, and there’s no doubt that Paradores are the best. Quality is their hallmark, as it is at Civitatis. With our activities, we’re redefining the concept of travelling, which is much more than just moving from one place to another, something that Paradores' guests understand well. That’s why they choose these emblematic places to stay in and choose to fill their trip with our activities and tours to discover the surroundings. With this combination, their holiday memories from this summer onwards will be unforgettable".
