Tell me who you are...

Baztan-Bidasoa Turismoa is a private, nonprofit tourism association.

Our goal is to promote and develop tourism in the Baztan-Bidasoa region and, at the same time, represent the interests of the tourism industry.

We were pioneers in rural tourism; the first agritourism lodgings in Navarre opened in Baztan-Bidasoa more than 25 years ago, thanks to the “Hiruak Bat” association. Over the years—during which we’ve helped establish new associations in various fields—our commitment to authentic, high-quality, and sustainable rural tourism remains as strong as it was on day one.

In 2015, Baztan-Bidasoa Turismoa was founded—an association made up of rural inns, hotels, lodging establishments in general, restaurants, activity providers, service providers, producers, and more…

Recognizing that tourism is one of the main economic drivers of our region, our challenge is to ensure that this engine runs smoothly and reliably, with a commitment to quality.

Currently, there are about 80 members who make up Baztan-Bidasoa Turismoa. We’re expanding and want to keep growing. That’s why our doors are open to new members. We want to build a big family to meet the needs of everyone who visits us, just like you. We want you to feel right at home here.

Our funding comes from member dues and grants from the government and various organizations for tourism projects and initiatives.

Management at "Auzolan"

The association has a Board of Directors consisting of seven members who are elected every two years at the General Assembly of members. For administrative purposes, it also has a president, vice president, and secretary, who are responsible for convening assemblies and liaising with the administration.
