At Spanish Wonders Travel, we take our commitment to sustainability and respect for the environment seriously in every trip we organize for our clients. We offer private experiences to ensure sustainability in our cities. This helps to maintain a smooth flow for both pedestrians and vehicles, avoiding large crowds that may cause disturbances or unnecessary noise. We pay particular attention to behavior within historical monuments, which are of great importance to us.
All of our guides are tourism professionals, trained to provide accurate and reliable information to our clients. Their professionalism also extends to respecting and protecting historical and cultural heritage, a message they passionately convey to visitors.
We promote healthy practices among our employees, collaborators, and clients:
We encourage the use of more sustainable modes of transportation, such as trains, as their emissions are significantly lower than those of cars. In this way, we minimize our ecological footprint and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
We support local consumption by encouraging our clients to value and purchase local products, while promoting the diversification of their purchases without favoring specific establishments.
We raise environmental awareness among our employees, clients, partners, and collaborators by recommending the use of reusable water bottles that can be refilled. Additionally, we ensure that everyone minimizes the use of disposable plastics and manages waste properly, promoting recycling and preventing it from ending up in landfills. We encourage everyone to reduce, reuse, and recycle, and to reject products unnecessarily wrapped in plastic.
In our organized groups, we encourage the use of communication systems through mobile applications to avoid unwanted noise and the use of rechargeable batteries, which are highly polluting. We also ask participants to bring their own headphones to avoid the use of disposable ones, which tend to be more polluting.
Our commitment to sustainability is also reflected in our procurement of goods and services, prioritizing those that have a positive environmental and socio-cultural impact.
We foster the protection of the natural environment among our employees, collaborators, and clients by promoting cultural hiking that is respectful of the environment. We ensure that our nature activities do not pass through areas not designated for foot traffic, recognizing that humans are one of the greatest contributors to ecosystem disruption.
We understand the positive impact that tourism can have on people’s health and well-being by acting as a cultural bridge. For this reason, we reinforce healthy practices among our employees, collaborators, and clients with the goal of raising awareness about health and well-being, thereby contributing to a better understanding between cultures.
