From Fomento del Turismo de la isla de Ibiza, we would like to congratulate our partner, Aiyanna, for being the first company in the Pituisas Islands to receive the Biosphere Certification, awarded by the RTI (Responsible Tourism Institute) and endorsed by UNESCO and the World Sustainable Tourism Organization.
This is an important international recognition that RTI offers to those destinations and entities that demonstrate their commitment to sustainability through the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
As Carlos Monter, founding partner of the company, underlined, "it is a success for the entire Aiyanna team" and highlights the common goal of the whole group to "generate a positive impact that guarantees the long-term sustainability of the destination and also that of our main economic activity".
Aiyanna, located in Cala Nova, implements a solid circular economy strategy to minimise the impact of its activity. Since its opening in 2017, the restaurant has gradually and naturally expanded its commitment. A fact that is officially confirmed today thanks to the award of the seal endorsed by the World Tourism Organization and UNESCO.
Specifically, the restaurant integrates the use of green energy, as well as a water reuse system that reduces water consumption. Aiyanna is also committed to the reduction and reuse of waste, such as the production of glasses from glass bottles and the production of compost that is already being used as fertiliser in the restaurant's vegetable garden. A project that customers will be able to experience first-hand in 2023 with the incorporation of products harvested from the plantation itself and which joins the wide range of 0 km products on its current menu.
