The Responsible Tourism Institute, owner of Biosphere, one of the most recognized sustainable tourism certification system worlwide and Fundación Plan21, owner of the Carbonocero Program, signed a collaboration agreement to work together in the promotion of Sustainable Tourism and the fight against Climate Change.
In this way, both organizations contribute with their reputation and experience to accompany tourism companies and destinations on a global scale on their way to sustainable management. This alliance will be shaped through the awareness and dissemination of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the tourism industry, training programs and development of tourism experiences that generate social and environmental value, among others, and the integration of the "Carbonocero" Program of Fundación Plan21 to the offer of solutions for destinations and companies that want to advance on sustainability and climate responsibility.
Plan21 is an NGO for Development that aims to disseminate the paradigm of Sustainable Human Development and has one of the oldest Sustainable Tourism Programs in Latin America and the "Carbonocero" Program, one of the pioneers in measurement Carbon Footprint in the region.
The solid scheme of work of both organizations will collaborate with all the actors involved in the tourism sector to develop a new way of traveling based on sustainability and climate responsibility.
