CREATING SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES
Since 1998, Asuaire has been crafting unforgettable trips in Central America. What sets them apart? Amazing experiences, extraordinary service, and their unwavering commitment to sustainability
THE STORY
Sustainability is in Asuaire’s DNA and can be seen in their business operations as well as in the customer experiences they create. Founded by our CEO Cristina Calvo, Asuaire’s pioneering ways serve as the inspiration behind Green My Experience’s strategy service.
THE SOLUTION
Asuaire created a proprietary assessment tool that measures and manages their impact and includes carbon emissions, waste generation, and supplier practices. Asuaire is certified as a Carbon Neutral company in their home country Costa Rica, holds a Sustainable Tourism Certification, and is a B-corp. The standards for these certifications have influenced the company’s structure and its day-to-day operations, supplier and partner selections, volunteerism projects, and more.
