Strides in Sustainable Tourism
IDYLLIC SETTINGS
Some of the world’s most desirable locations are blessed with virgin beaches, turquoise seas and sunny weather. These attractive qualities are what draw visitors in, but they must be protected to enable tourism to be an engine for their economy for future generations. Many travelers want to enjoy some rest and relaxation in nature with the confidence that they’re not part of the sustainability problem and in fact are helping to support the solutions. Iberostar Hotels & Resorts are leading responsible tourism efforts with the utmost care and commitment to oceans, the environment and local communities.

WAVE OF CHANGE
Some of the changes that have come to Iberostar Hotels & Resorts include removing single-use plastics, responsibly sourcing local seafood and adopting policies toward being carbon neutral by 2030. Iberostar restaurants L’Atelier and Venecia are certified by the MSC/ASC Chain of Custody Standard and moving toward 100% responsibly sourced seafood while ensuring gastronomic excellence. These are just a few of over 14 certified restaurants that you can dine at and know you are contributing to protecting our oceans and fish populations. In Mexico, coral nurseries protect reefs from damage resulting from disease, nutrient pollution and climate change. Booking a trip to a delicate ecosystem can be rewarding when you know that you’re being hosted by a company that is looking after the health of the oceans and maintaining the exceptional beachfront location that they’ve been entrusted to protect.
