Peru Responsible Tourism
Responsible Tourism Policy
At Amazing Peru, we firmly believe that responsible
tourism is the only way one can guarantee the sustainable
development of travel for present and future generations.
As a result of this belief, ever since we started we have
involved the local communities and worked with them as suppliers
of goods and services, helping them by contributing with medicines,
school materials and health issues. Tied in with this, was
our commitment to the environment trying to minimize our footprints
and respecting the traditional way of life of the peoples
through whose territories we passed.
We have also managed to educate and influence
our field staff and their communities to improve their quality
of life by enhancing their interaction with their own environment.
Our work in this area has also caused other operators to improve
their environmental performance since it implied improving
their standards to be able to compete in this industry.
For further details, here are our Responsible Tourism
Principles.
-
Consider environmental management
a company priority, committing ourselves to complying
with applicable legislation and other voluntary compliances
established by us.

Annually review our quantifiable goals
to reduce to the maximum possible levels the generation
of solid waste, pollution of water, the risks of fire
and the disturbance of wildlife caused by our activities,
products and services.
-
Responsibly use tourist attractions
and the surrounding natural resources preventing their
unnecessary abuse and/or consumption minimizing impacts
caused to the lifestyle of communities in harmony with
the landscape, flora and fauna.
