Sustainable and responsible travel
Sustainability is a value that has always been at the forefront and in the ethics of Gaspar & Suarez Travels and Luxury Experiences. That's why we're committed to providing the best service by creating sustainable yet exclusive experiences while keeping our environment clean and sustainable.
We are a sustainable travel agency
Traveling responsibly is one of our priorities. Nowadays the travel landscape is changing and it is very important to travel sustainably.
Like us, more and more people are concerned about the impact of each of their trips, which is why we are committed to eco-friendly trips so that you can enjoy your trip to the fullest while being sure that you are also taking care of the planet.
Sustainable travel is possible
We are part of a programme of actions that we carry out ourselves, and we also collaborate with different NGOs and non-profit associations in all the places where we operate.
In order to continue offering our luxury services for longer, ethical tourism is necessary. Sustainable luxury travel is our responsibility and we want to do our best so that our most exclusive customers can travel with peace of mind with us.
The planet has a lot to offer us and we have to take care of it with our responsible travel. Exclusivity and luxury can coexist perfectly with ecological awareness, in fact, we are convinced that they enhance each other.
Sustainable actions that we apply on each trip
Beyond this integrated carbon offsetting, we try to work with the best partners, i.e. those who are most committed to sustainability. This can be seen thanks to environmental certifications or the responsible consumption they use.
We also try to work with the zero-plastic policy. We work with our partners to achieve zero waste plastics. For this we have high-quality reusable bottles or drinking water refill points in our sustainable management so that your experience remains comfortable and luxurious.
In our exclusive and personalized luxury travel agency, in addition to providing you with a luxury experience, we are also committed to practicing regenerative tourism. Basically, we are committed to taking care of the planet to reduce the environmental footprint while offering you a truly luxurious experience.
Our real commitment to sustainable travel and tourism
Our commitment to sustainable tourism is real. We calculate the precise way in which the carbon footprint generated by our trips is offset by reforestation projects or energy initiatives.
We seek to collaborate as much as possible with eco-friendly hotels, but without giving up the luxury experiences that responsible accommodation can also provide. Whenever possible, we will prioritise conscious mobility by practising responsible tourism to protect biodiversity.
By choosing us, you are not only investing in a luxury trip, but also in a company that aligns with your ethical values and commitment to the environment. This way your luxury adventure will not only be unforgettable and an experience for you, but it will also be beneficial for the world you inhabit.
Sustainable and responsible travel: what it really means
Sustainable and responsible travel is one that has active management through which the ecological footprint is minimized. Our trips minimize your carbon emissions and optimize the use of resources to protect the biodiversity of natural ecosystems.
We organize all this in such a way that our clients can continue to enjoy a luxury experience while we take care of the planet. We ensure that those communities where we carry out trips with purpose can benefit from our tourism in order to help cities and not displace them.
Our responsibility to the environment is also economic. That is why we seek that our luxury experiences also serve so that our customers have regenerative experiences and feel that they are part of all this care.
Luxury and sustainability: a new way of travelling
The traditional perception of luxury for many people equates to waste, however, this perception has become obsolete thanks to sustainable luxury.
This is achieved thanks to ethical exclusivity. The real luxury now lies in traveling in responsible and avant-garde accommodations, designed with local materials and operating with renewable energies. With these eco lodges it is easier to achieve an immersive experience with the peace of mind that your investment is generating a positive impact on the environment.
The same is true of depth experiences. We work to make our tours much more intimate, so they are much more sustainable than overcrowded experiences and in the end you get a more luxurious experience.
Support for local communities and social projects
To support local communities, we support the hiring of guides, trackers or drivers who belong to the local community. With this we achieve a much more authentic luxury experience and we also ensure that the wealth generated by this tourism stays in the region.
We actively encourage the purchase of handicrafts to achieve fair and local trade. By eliminating intermediaries we can enrich the culinary and cultural experience, once again achieving a much more natural experience.
In addition to all this, for each trip you hire we commit to allocate a percentage of the income to the community development of the region visited.
Responsible tourism to protect biodiversity
Biodiversity is our most valuable asset, especially when you take a trip in the middle of nature.
To take care of our biodiversity we have zero tolerance for animal abuse. In none of our itineraries will there be animal abuse or practices that involve the exploitation of these animals. Our philosophy is that of ethical sighting in the natural habitat.
On our luxury safaris we collaborate only with those private reserves that work against problems such as poaching or the surveillance of endangered species. Your stay on our trips becomes an act of active protection of the environment.
How we design tailor-made sustainable luxury travel
To carry out these respectful trips it is important to plan them to measure. The first thing we do is evaluate the carrying capacity, that is, if an area suffers from overtourism, we look for more remote and virgin alternatives that can offer a more exclusive experience.
On our trips, we also design a sustainable value chain that takes into account emissions from transport to activities that support community initiatives.
Finally, this bespoke design focuses on immersion. Instead of going to a tourist restaurant , we propose a private dinner in a rural estate with top quality products from the area. This also makes it easier to achieve a much more exclusive and luxurious experience with a positive impact.
Our future commitment to responsible tourism
The tourism industry is constantly evolving and our commitment is firm, only responsible tourism can take care of the planet we live on.
We will continue to innovate in logistics to minimise polluting emissions. We will actively work with those who have the most demanding certifications in terms of sustainable tourism and you can always enjoy total transparency.
To enable you to follow all our work with responsible tourism, we will provide you with clear reports on the final destination of the carbon contributions and the funds that have been provided with the trip to social projects.
Why Choose an Agency Committed to Sustainable Travel

This will lead to more authentic experiences and your trip will also have a greater purpose. You will be able to feel that you take care of the environment with every luxury trip you take with us.
