Madeira among Europe’s top green destinations in 2024

Madeira was recently featured in the prestigious “The Green List 2024” by British magazine Wanderlust, which recognises the world’s most sustainable destinations and projects. The Autonomous Region of Madeira ranks eighth among European destinations, standing out for its commitment to sustainable environmental practices and the preservation of its unique biodiversity.

Madeira’s inclusion on this list is the recognition of the region’s ongoing efforts to promote sustainable tourism while preserving its natural resources. Among the initiatives that have contributed to this distinction are the creation of the largest marine protected area in Europe and the North Atlantic around the Selvagens islands, as well as the implementation of various environmental conservation measures and responsible tourism projects.

The Green List is drawn up annually by Wanderlust, a magazine known for its sustainable and eco-friendly travel recommendations. This list aims to inspire travellers to choose destinations that are committed to environmental protection and sustainable development. With this distinction, Madeira reinforces its position as a destination of excellence for travellers looking for an authentic and sustainable tourist experience.
