Testimonial
Real tourism businesses, real transformation
When we created Basecamps, we wanted to prove that a place to stay could be a gateway to the land — not an escape from the real world. That visitors would leave knowing La Cerdanya better: its soil, its species, its producers, its challenges.
In our first year working with Eco Heroes, we've seen that this is possible. The 17 SDG storybooks — each one dedicated to a global goal, in seven languages — have found their way into our cabins as if they had always been there. We've watched children read them to their parents. We've had families ask where they could find the books when checking out.
The team training and the double materiality assessment gave us something we didn't expect: not a certificate, but a mirror. An honest way to see where we truly stand, and where we want to go. For us, Eco Heroes is not a supplier. It's the educational layer the project had been missing since day one.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you wanted to know before starting
No jargon. Honest answers to the questions tourism professionals actually ask.
How long does it take to complete an SDG?
Each SDG track is designed for 2–3 hours of focused learning, split into short modules that fit between shifts. Most learners complete their first SDG within 1–2 weeks — the pace that matches a working tourism professional, not a full-time student. Progress is saved after every module, so you always pick up where you left off.
Does Academy work for solo professionals, growing teams, and large organisations?
All three serve different needs. Individual gives one person full access to all 17 SDGs, all 8 role-specific paths, and every diploma. Team adds team-progress visibility so managers can see completion across roles, and is designed for small businesses training 5 or more people. Licence removes seat limits entirely and is designed for hotel chains, DMOs, and training academies running large-scale onboarding. You can start solo today and upgrade as you grow, with your progress carried over.
Are Academy diplomas recognised?
Each diploma is structured around the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with content aligned to UN Tourism, GSTC criteria, and EFRAG VSME frameworks — the same standards used across the Eco Heroes ecosystem (including the Destination Maturity Assessment). Diplomas are QR-verifiable, so guests, booking partners and regulators can authenticate them instantly. They prove structured learning against internationally recognised sustainability standards, and they complement operational certifications like GSTC-Accredited or Travelife, which assess your business rather than your people.
What happens if I need to cancel?
You stay in control. Cancel anytime from your account dashboard — no phone calls, no retention tactics. Your access continues until the end of the billing period you paid for. Every diploma you've earned remains yours, downloadable and QR-verifiable. If you decide to return — a year later, five years later — your learning history and progress are still there.
Why €99/year for individuals — when other sustainability courses cost hundreds?
Because Academy covers 17 SDGs, 8 role-specific tracks, and up to 17 diplomas in a single yearly subscription — not one course at a time. Comparable sustainability training programmes typically charge €200–500 per certification. Academy is designed to make comprehensive sustainability education accessible to every tourism professional, not just those with corporate training budgets. As part of the Eco Heroes ecosystem, it also connects directly with the Destination Maturity Assessment used by your company.
