Aware of maintaining sustainable tourism, we base our activity on five principles.
- Motivate and train our employees with training and awareness-raising activities on the principles of Responsible Tourism.
- Promoting good environmental practices.
- Participating in external activities and informing both internally and externally about the company’s environmental progress and actions.
- We also include a commitment to adopt accessibility measures for people with disabilities (sensory, physical, intellectual or mental).
One of our objectives is to improve sustainable management through continuous improvement in all areas of sustainability: social, economic and environmental, as well as customer satisfaction. Therefore, all extension or renovation projects will be subject to sustainability and resource efficiency criteria.
