Swiss Travel's Conservation and Biodiversity Management training program closed

with great success

35 tourism companies were part of the Conservation and Biodiversity Management training program offered by Swiss Travel.

This project began in 2021 and focused to give training to providers and other companies in the industry on how to manage their operations toward biodiversity.

This included training to recognize impacts and risks towards wildlife in their everyday operations, each creating to minimize such effects.

This effort from our company was awarded by Costa Rican authorities recognizing Swiss Travel with a Biodiversity Blue Flag, making us the first Tourism company in the country to achieve this award.
