Social Responsibility
At Qatawi Tours Peru, we believe that tourism should not only be an enriching experience for travelers, but also a tool to generate a positive impact on local communities. As part of our commitment to social responsibility, we focus our efforts on supporting the communities of Paruro, an area that receives little social assistance and where we seek to generate real and sustainable change.
Our Commitment to Paruro
The communities of Paruro, in the Cusco region, face diverse challenges related to access to basic resources, education and economic opportunities. At Qatawi Tours, we assume the responsibility of contributing to their well-being through initiatives that foster community development and improved quality of life.
1. Supporting Education
We believe that education is the basis for the progress of any community. Therefore, we carry out actions such as:
- Donation of school supplies: We provide school supplies, books and didactic material for children and young people.
- Volunteer programs: We facilitate the participation of our travelers in educational and cultural activities.
- School infrastructure support: We collaborate with the improvement of classrooms and learning spaces.
2. Economic Development and Sustainable Tourism
We seek that tourism directly benefits the inhabitants of Paruro through:
- Promotion of handmade products: We encourage the purchase of handmade products made by local artisans.
- Training in sustainable tourism: We provide training to community members in hospitality, guiding and traveler service.
- Creation of community tourism experiences: We offer our clients the possibility of getting to know Paruro from the perspective of its inhabitants, generating direct income for the community.
Sustainability and the Environment
Our commitment to Paruro also includes the conservation of the natural environment and the promotion of sustainable practices:
- Reforestation and conservation: We organize tree planting and protection of water sources.
- Waste reduction: We encourage the use of biodegradable materials and the reduction of plastic in our expeditions.
- Environmental education: We provide workshops on environmental care for both locals and travelers.
