Empowering Local Communities and Protecting Ecosystems: Galapagos Aboard’s Commitment to Sustainable Tourism.
At GalapagosAboard.com, we are driven by a profound commitment to both sustainable tourism and the vital role that businesses play in empowering local communities and protecting ecosystems. Our mission goes beyond providing extraordinary journeys; it’s about ensuring that every aspect of our operations is aligned with the principles of sustainability and community support.
We recognize the importance of engaging local communities in our programs, not only as a means of cultural enrichment for our travelers but as a means to foster direct, sustainable development for those we collaborate with. We are proud to have a strategic partner, Pablo Manzano, at the forefront of the San Juan community in the Chimborazo province, where we actively support daycare facilities, maintain hiking trails, and empower local female artisans.
Moreover, we take our commitment to sustainability a step further by actively seeking suppliers who share our vision of sustainable tourism. By partnering with suppliers who are deeply committed to sustainable practices, we aim to fortify the sustainable tourism movement, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout the industry.
Our goal is to not only provide memorable experiences but also to leave a lasting legacy of growth, prosperity, and environmental conservation. Through our collective efforts, we are not just passengers on this journey; we are stewards, protectors, and advocates for the remarkable regions we visit, ensuring they flourish for generations to come.
