Encarna Piñero wins Spanish tourism award in Madrid

Encarna Piñero’s tourism award puts her family business in the spotlight: the Piñero chief receives the honour in Madrid on 10 November for helping the company grow abroad. The Spanish Association of Tourism Professionals (AEPT) presents her with its third Reconocimiento Magister award at the Inhala Hotel Garden.

Association president Santiago Vallejo praises Piñero for modernising the business while preserving its family roots. Her father, Pablo Piñero, founded the group in 1977. It now operates in Spain and Caribbean destinations. Vallejo also points to her support for responsible, sustainable tourism.

Piñero says the award may bear her name, but she shares it with her parents and everyone who helped her reach this point. Running a family business, she says, also means preparing the next generation and passing on the values on which it was founded.
