Sustainability
Sustainability and Social Responsibility
The idea of more responsible and conscious tourism focused on preserving biodiversity is, for us, a structural pillar.
Sustainability is the way to minimize the impact of tourism at a social, environmental and economic level and, at the same time, be a source of value creation and competitive advantage.
Aware of this, we integrate these concerns into customer service and hotel operations, certain that this is also a way of enriching the guests' experience/stay.
We are committed to using mechanisms that minimize environmental impact and help reduce our ecological footprint, with a clear and transparent objective aimed at protecting natural resources.
