The company continues to strengthen its approach to sustainable tourism by exploring circular economy principles, responsible waste management, and environmentally conscious practices that can be integrated into tourism operations.
Simple Bolivia Travel DMC is continuing its first steps toward more sustainable tourism by expanding its knowledge of circular economy principles and responsible waste management. At this stage, the company is focusing on identifying practical measures that could gradually be incorporated into its day-to-day operations.
As part of the Sustainable Tourism Leaders training program, participants explored topics including the separation of organic and inorganic waste, material reuse, and recycling. The sessions also covered alternatives such as composting and potential collaboration with grassroots recycling organizations.
Another key area of the training focused on raising awareness among different stakeholders within the tourism industry, including guides, transportation providers, and suppliers. Among the practices discussed were encouraging travelers to use refillable bottles and assessing the impact of sustainability initiatives
As part of the module, Rosse Mary Gisbert, CEO & Co-Founder of Simple Bolivia Travel DMC, took part in a visit to Ecolodge Colibrí, where she learned more about sustainable tourism practices already being implemented, including solar energy, composting, and rainwater harvesting.
The experience has helped Simple Bolivia Travel identify initiatives that could potentially be adapted to its own operations, while also reinforcing the importance of integrating sustainability considerations across different areas of tourism management.
At this early stage, the company plans to continue strengthening its knowledge and exploring practical actions related to waste management, staff awareness, and collaboration with suppliers as part of its broader journey toward more responsible tourism.
