5. Socioeconomic innovation
Promotion and strengthening of economic initiatives in the field of Social Economy and
Solidarity and promotion of socio-economic innovation in the city.
From this area we want to spread other economic models and sensitize citizens and
organizations to contribute to the generation of changes in the practices of production,
distribution, consumption and savings.

The Social Economy and Solidarity is a plural field that
encompasses all those economic practices that have as
a characteristic feature a way to make an economy that
prioritises the satisfaction of the needs of people over the
generation of economic benefits. It also incorporates the
gender perspective and commitment to the community,
with a commitment to democratic management and a
positive impact on the environment.

We are talking about cooperativism of all kinds and size
(consumption, work, services, housing ...), the third
sector, the common collaborative economies, the
community economies, initiatives of social innovation,
collective social entrepreneurship, responsible consume,
etc.

The Strategic Tourism Plan 2020 opens a new process of planning, reflection and shared
knowledge about the city's tourism activity and its effects. The result has allowed to define the set
of municipal actions to be deployed during the next years to manage tourist activity, while at the
same time satisfying visitors and citizens.

The Council for Tourism and City is an open and diverse citizen participation body created to
discuss the city model we want, improve the development of tourism activity and guide public
policies in this area.

Work is also being done to expand Knowledge about tourism activity, with updated statistics and
reports available to citizens and the sector.

The Tourism Directorate has also made a strategic commitment to strengthen the international
presence of Barcelona in those spaces for debate and decision on the governance of tourism.
