WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE TOURISM FOR PERU GRAND TRAVEL?
It is tourism that fully considers the current and future economic, social, and environmental impacts to meet the needs of residents, the industry, the environment, and host communities. In this way, we guarantee travel without altering the balance of nature or the characteristic elements of a destination, such as the ecosystem, wildlife and flora, culture, traditions, and the lifestyle of its inhabitants. It also includes hiring local professionals, consuming local products, and more. Sustainable tourism is based on three pillars:
SOCIAL: We must preserve the local culture; tourism should not alter or destroy the culture of people living in a specific area. It is essential to maintain their traditions, values, and other cultural traits that define the society.
ENVIRONMENTAL: Natural resources should be optimized while respecting the surrounding environment.
ECONOMIC: We must ensure a balanced distribution of economic benefits and promote economic activities that create employment for the local population. It should bring socio-economic benefits to the entire community.
