Green Key commitment to responsible tourism

Criteria, commitments, daily actions, benefits for travelers… La Clape Village, a 5-star campsite in Cap d’Agde, is a perfect illustration of this approach, and may help you to better understand this label and what it represents for your next stay.

The Green Key Label

A reliable label for choosing a committed venue

The Clef Verte label has existed for over 20 years, and is part of an international sustainable tourism program run by the Teragir association. Each year, establishments apply for the label and are then audited to verify that their criteria are actually being applied: responsible water and energy management, waste reduction, responsible purchasing, quality of living environment and traveler awareness.

La Clape Village has been awarded the Clef Verte for 2024 for the second year running, proof of a sustainable commitment over time – not just a one-off approach.

Today, this label helps travelers identify places that are committed, reliable and consistent with a more respectful way of traveling.
