Description

Since 1994, Cactus Tour has been offering safe, quality services and it is an agency that is recognized among tourism professionals in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama. We offer tailor-made individual and group travel with itineraries designed to meet sustainable tourism principles.

We know that your vacation or travel needs are important and unique; therefore we put you in direct and constant contact with an agent who will give you the best advice on sites to visit, accommodations, transportation and activities.

Our staff is oriented and trained to do their jobs, always keeping natural resource protection and the social and economic development of the communities visited in mind.

Making a Difference

Tourism is one of the largest industries in Costa Rica and in the world. Cactus Tour recognizes that tourism must be conducted with an understanding of all of the consequences of our actions over the long term. Therefore we implement the following sustainable tourism practices:

• Choosing suppliers that are respectful of the natural, cultural, and social environment and that meet our service quality standards and competitive rates.
• Promoting our partners' commitment to environmentally friendly practices and support Costa Rican culture.
• Energy and water consumption is metered and controlled in the offices in our daily work and we promote these savings to tourists.
• We have integrated waste management for waste from our office and we separate the waste generated in the tours.
• Our administration department is committed to “zero paper” practices. Our publications are printed on recycled paper.
• Implementing an intelligent, green purchasing policy.
• We have an internal training program focused on raising awareness and training all our collaborators on issues related to sustainable tourism, so that each person on the team integrates the principles of sustainability into their daily tasks.
• Our guides follow a code of ethics and they are committed to respecting the watchwords of sustainability, and to sharing and promoting them with travelers.
