¿What is Aktiba?

AKTIBA, Asociación de Empresas de Turismo Activo y Deportes de Aventura de Euskadi, was legally established as a non-profit making entity on 18 June 2004, registered with no. 8/04.

The project arose from different meetings among sector entrepreneurs, who coincided in thinking that there were a series of work areas of common interest, which needed to be answered if they wanted to create a favourable framework for the sustainable growth and development of the companies.

That is how Aktiba arose, with the following general characteristics:

During 2006 a Collaboration Agreement was signed with the Sub department of Tourism of the Basque Government, representing a big boost for the association.

AKTIBA\'s MISSION is currently made up of these two big centre themes of action:

• The promotion of active tourism in the Basque Country under a single brand that allows for carrying out promotional campaigns with greater scope that improve the positioning of the Basque Country as a nature tourism destination.

• The improvement of the competitiveness of the business framework via collaboration with Institutions and making the most of the group\'s advantages. 
  

AKTIBA\'s VISION is that of a global and competitive offer made up of large variety of high quality active tourism services that, without degrading the natural resources, offer new possibilities for travelling around and discovering the natural spots of the Basque Country creating enriching and healthy experiences for our visitors.
