Santander has been taking that step from the very beginning, building a model that will enable coordinated measurement, improvement, and communication across the entire tourism ecosystem.\u201d<\/p><p>The first phase of enrollment is free for participating companies, making it easier for them to join the program from the start and gain access to tools and specialized support.<\/p><p>The initiative remains open to new participants and invites lodging establishments, restaurants, activity providers, cultural venues, and other tourism-related businesses to join this collective effort.<\/p><p>With this project, Santander is positioning itself as one of the first destinations in Spain to take a comprehensive approach to sustainable tourism, bringing the public and private sectors together under a single system for measurement and continuous improvement.<\/p><p> <\/p><p><em>More information:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/bioscore.info\/santander\">https:\/\/bioscore.info\/santander<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4243c4b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4243c4b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-638263c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"638263c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bioscore.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Santander-Destino_Sostenible_final_FINAL-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-18092 lazyload\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/150;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESS RELEASE Date: Valencia, May 2026 Santander launches a pioneering system to measure the sustainability of its entire tourism ecosystem in partnership with Bioscore The program is launching with its first participating companies and aims to standardize the destination\u2019s sustainable management based on ESG criteria Santander has launched\u201cSantander Destino Sostenible by Bioscore,\u201da system that will [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18650,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sin-categorizar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bioscore.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bioscore.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bioscore.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bioscore.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bioscore.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19178"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bioscore.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19178\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bioscore.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bioscore.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bioscore.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bioscore.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
