Our Team
Our goal is
to sensitize our customers, borrowers, partners and employees to the need to
apply in our daily lives a concept of sustainability aimed at making this a
better world.
As a travel company that interacts with various tourism stakeholders,
namely consumers, tour guides, travel agencies, hotels, transportation
companies, restaurants and attractions, we at Altái Cuba understand our key
role and influence in the sustainable development of tourism. That is why we
are committed to promoting sustainability. Our goal is to follow, implement and
promote good sustainability practices, to maximize the positive and minimize
the negative impacts of our tourism operations, and to influence our clients
and partners to do the same.
Our sustainability policy is divided into 10 themes. Each theme consists
of a set of principles and related practical actions.
