Autentico Travel

Sustainable tourism isn’t just an idea; it’s a profound approach aimed at minimizing the environmental, social, and economic impact of travel. It’s about fostering responsible and conscious travel practices, focusing on conserving natural and cultural resources, promoting social equity, and generating enduring economic benefits for local communities. Our primary goal is to ensure that tourism can be practiced sustainably, preserving the environment while enhancing the quality of life for all involved.

At Autentico Travel, we’ve embarked on a mission to revolutionize travel. We believe that every journey should leave a positive footprint, enriching both travelers and the destinations they explore. Our approach is simple yet powerful: we bring wealth to local communities, promote eco-friendly choices, and immerse travelers in authentic experiences.

When you choose Autentico Travel, you’re not just selecting a destination; you’re choosing a sustainable path. Our itineraries are carefully crafted to minimize environmental impact, support local economies, and foster cultural exchange. Here’s how we do it:

Accommodation: Forget sprawling resorts; we opt for cozy boutique hotels and family-run guesthouses. By staying in smaller establishments, we reduce the ecological footprint and ensure your comfort.

Dining: We savor local flavors in family-owned restaurants, encouraging authentic culinary experiences. Our commitment to sustainable food practices extends to supporting local producers and reducing food waste.

Shopping: Souvenirs aren’t just trinkets; they’re tokens of sustainability. We encourage shopping for local artisan crafts, supporting local economies and preserving traditional craftsmanship.

Transportation: Our modes of transport are as eco-friendly as possible. We prioritize trains, bikes, and low-impact vehicles to minimize carbon emissions and immerse you in the local landscape.

Cultural Exchange: Small villages, big experiences. We take you off the beaten path to connect with local communities. You’ll dine with families, visit NGOs, support local projects, and engage with the vibrant cultures you encounter.

Hands-On Experiences: Our trips focus on direct family experiences. In some cases, you’ll even work alongside locals for a few hours a day, contributing to meaningful initiatives like plastic clean-up efforts.

We understand that sustainable travel is more than just a promise; it’s a measurable commitment. That’s why we employ a set of impact indicators, including:

IRIS+ (Impact Reporting and Investment Standards):

Number of local communities involved and benefiting from the project.

Number of sustainable jobs supported or created for local populations.

Economic income generated for local communities.

Percentage of local suppliers involved in project operations.

Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional travel models.

Number of individuals engaged in training or professional development in the local tourism industry.
