The Comprehensive Tourist Quality System in Destinations (SICTED) is a system for improving the quality of tourist destinations promoted by the Spanish Tourism Institute (Turespaña) and the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP), which works with companies /tourist services of up to 36 different trades, with the ultimate goal of improving the tourist experience and satisfaction.

Among the benefits that companies obtain, it is worth highlighting the improvement of internal management, especially that of processes related to customer satisfaction; increasing the qualification of the team, through a training plan; participating in the largest tourism quality project developed in Spain, together with more than 9,000 establishments; receive technical assistance that offers support for improvement, and opt for an award that certifies the level of quality obtained.
