European Sustainable Development Week 2025

Ushuaïa Villages commits to European Sustainable Development Week 2025

Every year, European Sustainable Development Week (ESDW) highlights local initiatives that contribute to a more environmentally friendly future.

At Ushuaïa Villages (a community of campsites and glamping sites in the heart of unspoiled environments), this commitment is part of our DNA: offering authentic, meaningful vacations close to nature.

Through the “1 day, 1 action, 1 impact” campaign, several Ushuaïa Villages sites are promoting their concrete initiatives, demonstrating that every action counts in building more sustainable tourism.
