Asturias invites you to discover a new concept that unites respect and tourism: Respeturismo.

A neologism that recognises those who know how to share, discover and get excited; those who understand that travelling is much more than just visiting a place. People open to new landscapes, to other ways of living and looking at the world, aware that every journey is an opportunity to learn... and also to teach.

Respeturismo is an invitation to travel in a sustainable and responsible way, to live experiences that leave a mark and transform, while taking care of a territory that is still a true natural paradise.

By reading our Decalogue you will discover that you too are a Respecturist.

So why wait?

Brand PlayBook

Cover of the Play Book of the RespeTurismo campaign with an image of the Picu Urriellu.

This Playbook is a guide to understand what makes us different and why Asturias is such a special place. In it you will find the keys that define the Asturias brand and a practical reference for working coherently with its identity.

Through these pages we bring you closer to our DNA: our history, the essence of the Natural Paradise, our own culture and gastronomy, and the friendly, authentic and welcoming character of our people.

The aim of the brand manual is to align criteria and move in the same direction, unifying the tone, message and visual identity of all communications. To this end, it includes the essence of the destination, its public, its values and attributes, as well as the elements that make up the brand identity -logo, slogan and visual and conceptual resources-.

This document, of a technical nature, is aimed at communication professionals and all those who need to use the Asturias brand, establishing guidelines and recommendations to guarantee its appropriate and coherent use.

Thank you for your interest in discovering Asturias!
