SICTED and quality at the destination

Málaga City Council remains committed to the quality of the city's tourist facilities and services through SICTED (Sistema Integral de Calidad Turística Española en Destino; Integrated System for Spanish Tourist Quality) first implemented in 2007.

The SICTED is a programme developed by the Spanish State Tourism Department, which is aimed at comprehensive and ongoing quality management in tourist destinations. The main objective is to achieve a consistent level of quality in the services offered to tourists at a destination that includes services related to tourism as such as well as those which may not strictly be services for tourists but do, however, contribute to the tourist's experience at a destination.

SICTED is currently implemented at 174 destinations. 3,949 companies and services take part, of which 3,715 have been distinguished with the "Commitment to Quality" qualification.

SICTED objectives

    Create a permanent structure for managing and promoting quality at the destination.
    Apply basic quality standards common to all businesses and tourist services, and those specific to the subsector.
    Acknowledge the efforts of the participants in the project through the "Commitment to Tourist Quality" hallmark.
