Our actions for sustainable development

The Pays Bigouden is a popular destination for the beauty of its unspoilt landscapes, its fishing ports, its rich heritage and its strong cultural identity. Our tourism strategy focuses on preserving these assets while protecting the environment.

To achieve this, Destination Pays Bigouden is striving to :

Favouring soft mobility (we have the “Accueil vélo” label)
Promote the preservation of the coastline, dunes and biodiversity (Natura 2000 and Ramsar zones)
Promote local products and know-how (map of local producers, Bigoudène Box, etc.)
Invite visitors to fill up their water bottles (we have signed up to #Gourdefriendly)

Not sending documentation by post, but instead creating a personalised digital travel diary with up-to-date information, thereby reducing our impact on the environment
Reduce the number of printed documents, by inviting people to download brochures from our website, and by preferring to announce events, ticket sales and weather forecasts on screens in our reception desks rather than on posters.
Recycling our surplus paper through the local association AFIDESA (Plomeur), which works in the field of education in Burkina Faso
Producing an autumn-winter magazine and a 100% digital accommodation magazine
Dematerialise our meeting minutes, schedules, liaison notebooks and a maximum number of internal operating documents
Commit to a CSR approach (through the Destination d’Excellence label)
Disseminate the Traveller’s Charter (video produced for all players in Brittany)
Carry out daily eco-actions: waste sorting, water and energy consumption, conscious and sensible digital practices and printing. Staff are regularly made aware of these issues.

Favouring car pooling for business trips
Taking part in various green initiatives: for example, cleaning up digital data every year during Clean Up Day in France (with staff awareness-raising on the impact of digital technology).
