El Ejido now has 57 companies distinguished in the SICTED tourism quality system

The municipality of El Ejido has 57 companies and services with the distinction of the Comprehensive System for Tourist Quality at Destination (SICTED), a programme in which the Town Council has been working since 2015. The three information sessions held served to present the new features of this model, which focuses on sustainability and innovation, according to the Town Council. The SICTED distinction recognises tourist establishments and services that meet quality standards. In El Ejido, those 57 distinguished companies and services are the ones that are part of the programme today, a figure that the Town Council frames within its commitment to the sustainability of the destination. El Ejido is a municipality in the Poniente Almeriense, in the province of Almería, with 91,440 inhabitants (INE 2025), the third most populated in the province behind the capital and Roquetas de Mar. It comprises, in addition to the municipal capital, localities such as Almerimar, Santa María del Águila, Las Norias de Daza, Balerma, San Agustín, Matagorda, Pampanico, Guardias Viejas or La Redonda, among others. The information sessions held are part of the municipal drive for this comprehensive tourist sustainability model, which seeks to involve the municipality's services sector in improving the quality of the destination.
