Tourism is recognized as a great source of income for every country; however it can also have a negative impact to the environment and local culture. We can all take action to protect the world we travel.
Cacao Travel Panama undertakes good practices, which integrate social and environmental concerns. Our claim is that, with ecotourism, visitors and locals enrich their life with real cultural exchange, supporting its legitimacy and preservation.

Our Sustainability Commitment in Panama
Our organization is firmly committed to sustainability in Panama, integrating responsible practices into every stage of our operations. We recognize that protecting the natural environment and fostering the social development of communities are essential pillars for ensuring a prosperous and balanced future. Therefore, we have established clear guidelines that direct our actions toward a more conscious, efficient, and environmentally friendly business model.
Step One: Waste Management and Recycling
We actively promote recycling as a fundamental practice for reducing environmental impact.
We currently support Botellas de Amor, a local project that reuses plastic that cannot be recycled.
Awareness campaigns aimed at employees and customers to encourage responsible habits.
These actions help reduce waste generation and strengthen the circular economy in the country.
Cacao Travel has also achieved Travelife Partner Certification.
Travelife is a leading training, management and certification initiative for tourism companies committed to reaching sustainability.
Step Two: Offering Sustainable Hotels and Alternatives
As a business we try to minimize our environmental footprint doing the following:
We select hotels that implement energy-efficient practices, responsible water management, and emissions reduction.
We prioritize establishments that hold environmental certifications or have social responsibility programs in place.
We encourage the adoption of responsible tourism policies that protect biodiversity and respect local communities.
We use eco-hosting for our website that is mostly driven by wind energy, a renewable energy source.
Also our office is within a coworking center. Coworking spaces share common areas, supplies and other resources, thereby cutting down on basic wastefulness.
Step Three: Relationship with Suppliers and Value Chain
Sustainability is a shared commitment. Therefore, we consistently communicate to our suppliers the importance of adopting best practices in all aspects of their operations. Our actions include:
Incorporating sustainability criteria into supplier selection and evaluation processes.
Promoting responsible practices in resource use, transportation, packaging, and production processes.
Promoting transparency and compliance with current environmental regulations in Panama.
Our goal is to build a value chain that reflects our principles and contributes to the collective well-being.
Conclusion
Our commitment to sustainability in Panama is comprehensive and ongoing. Through recycling, the promotion of responsible hotels, and collaboration with suppliers committed to best practices, we are moving toward a business model that generates economic, social, and environmental value. We will continue to strengthen these initiatives to ensure that our operations contribute positively to the country and the planet.
