Nuria Varela

Quality and Sustainability Director – Grupo Blaumar

Graduate in Tourism from the Bettatur School in Tarragona. After spending one year in Germany, I joined the Blaumar Hotel in Salou as Quality Manager, later extending my work to other Occidental Hotels (Aruba, Tenerife, Córdoba, Seville, Madrid, and Oviedo).

Since the year 2000, my responsibilities have included the implementation, management, and monitoring of quality and environmental management systems (EMAS and ISO 14001 certifications), currently expanded to encompass sustainability management within Grupo Blaumar (Hotel Blaumar, Hotel Magnolia, and Port Plaza Apartments).

I have also collaborated in teaching at several educational institutions, including Bettatur (2009–2012) and the Faculty of Tourism and Geography at the Rovira i Virgili University (2018–2025).
