The Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Sport, in collaboration with the Menéndez Pelayo International University (UIMP), is organizing a course dedicated to the Camino Lebaniego, highlighting it as one of the most important destinations for religious tourism in Europe. According to Eva Guillermina Fernández, Minister of Culture, Tourism and Sport, "Cantabria wants to place the Camino Lebaniego among the key destinations worldwide within religious tourism. To this end, we are promoting the organization of the course 'Design and Management of Religious Tourism Destinations' in Santander, which will bring together leading experts in the field.
The Camino Lebaniego is a member of the World Network of Religious and Spiritual Tourism Destinations, a program of the Tourism and Society Think Tank, an alliance that strengthens its position as a reference destination. This collaboration is materialized in a joint program between both institutions, whose objective is to promote the sustainable development of the Camino Lebaniego and to promote its international diffusion.
