Neptuno´s Tourcert-sustainability -certification

After publishing that we had started the certification process with the internationally renowned sustainability seal ‘TourCert’ in March 2017, we can finally announce that we have passed the external examination!

In accordance with the national criteria stipulated by Colombian law, we now comply with the rules and guidelines of international sustainability standards, which are indispensable for the enforcement of sustainable tourism. We started our journey towards becoming a sustainable business in 2014 when we initially started implementing first measures towards environmentally friendly policies.

‘TourCert’ is mainly focused on reviewing feedback from our partners with whom we work with on a daily basis. An area of major importance was the distribution of standardized, partly anonymous online questionnaires in order to get feedback not only from Neptuno co-workers, but also from our guides, transport partners, partner agencies and providers all over Colombia. The results of the questionnaires have been carefully examined leading to a variety of internal discussions and resolutions.

We are convinced that tourism enterprises which commit themselves to national and international sustainability standards will have numerous advantages operating successfully in the future. At this time we would like to invite fellow tourism enterprises to join us in becoming officially certified in sustainability and then to promote these ideals in their own companies. For any questions or queries regarding the certification process, don’t hesitate to contact Stephan (Stephan.stober@neptuno.org) or Christopher (Christopher.romahn@neptuno.org).
