A responsible stay in Brussels
Sustainable Brussels
© Éric Danhier
Brussels is green, cosmopolitan, friendly, festive and thrilling and is the ideal destination to experience a sustainable brand of tourism. The Brussels-Capital Region is a pioneer of sustainable and responsible tourism, with an offer that’s growing and improving every day. Home to eco-labelled accommodation, conscious restaurants, ethical shops and environmentally-friendly activities, the capital is loved by tourists looking for a gentler way to discover it.
In order to encourage as many partners as possible to achieve a label and propel Brussels' tourism sector towards greater sustainability, visit.brussels has developed the Sustainable Partners network, which brings together actors committed to sustainability and offers greater visibility to sustainable partners. Specifically, every tourism infrastructure with an eco-label will bear this logo. This collective recognition facilitates communication about the Brussels tourism sector's commitment to sustainability.
