Bahía del Duque goes a step further in its sustainability objectives and achieves the EMAS certification of the European Union, Community Eco-management Regulation and Eco-audit. The hotel thus joins the 25 tourist establishments in Canary Islands (19 in Tenerife) which, according to the European Commission and until March 3, are certified with EMAS.
