Surtrek Green Philosophy: The gas emissions that cause the greenhouse effect are a significant and growing concern. To confront this problem, in 2009 Surtrek Tour Operator implemented a Corporate Social Responsibility policy (CSR) in alliance with our partner, Vitalideas Cia. Ltd.
This alliance has allowed us to become a part of the Verification Program of the Rainforest Alliance, which promotes best practices of sustainable tourism in the areas of corporate, socio-cultural, and environmental management.
What´s more, every year since 2009, a Surtrek-owned and operated facility – Las Cascadas Jungle Lodge – has earned Smart Voyager Certification as a sustainable accommodations site in Latin America. While staying at the lodge, our clients participate in conservation projects, reforestation of the cloud forest, and community support initiatives – which means that you too can be a part of this unique experience!
In addition to all of this, Surtrek was the first tour operator in South America to participate in the Network of Tour Operators Promoting Sustainability (TOPS), which is organized by the Rainforest Alliance to promote strategic global relations in the tourism industry.
As part of Surtrek's Green Philosophy, we invite you to learn more about our "Corporate Social Responsibility" projects at our partner’s Facebook page (at Vitalideas.makingvitalchanges).
