Intursa’s hotels have achieved Biosphere Certified status, an international recognition that validates the integration of sustainability into their management practices and reflects years of effort focused on creating a positive impact on people, communities, and the environment. 

A New Milestone in Our Sustainability Journey
Biosphere is an international certification system that promotes continuous improvement aligned with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). After being recognized as Biosphere Committed, all Intursa hotels have now achieved Biosphere Certified status, reinforcing their commitment to the highest standards of sustainability.

More Than a Recognition, a Certification of Impact
Being Biosphere Certified represents a significant step forward in our journey toward increasingly responsible management. This certification acknowledges compliance with sustainability criteria and best practices that generate a positive environmental, social, and economic impact. Intursa operates in some of Peru’s most iconic destinations, a country renowned for its biodiversity and cultural richness. Aware of the responsibility that comes with being part of these environments, we have integrated sustainability as a strategic pillar that guides our corporate decisions, operations, and the experiences we offer our guests. Achieving this certification confirms that our actions are aligned with international standards and that we continue making progress in key areas such as the efficient management of natural resources, the strengthening of a responsible organizational culture, the development of local communities, the promotion of cultural heritage, and the advancement of a more sustainable economy. 

Actions That Make a Difference
This recognition is the result of a commitment that has been part of Intursa’s essence for more than fifty years. As a hospitality group dedicated to tourism, we understand that our growth must go hand in hand with people’s well-being, environmental stewardship, and the prosperity of the destinations where we operate. In 2023, we relaunched our corporate sustainability strategy to strengthen our contribution to global challenges and respond to the expectations of increasingly conscious travelers. Our vision is built around a clear purpose: creating happiness for people and prosperity for our destinations. The Biosphere Certified certification reflects concrete actions developed over time. These include collaboration with local communities, support for social initiatives, the development of volunteer programs, partnerships with impact-driven organizations, and active participation in projects that contribute to the sustainable development of our destinations. At the same time, we maintain a responsible approach to food and waste management by promoting waste reduction, donating surplus food to social organizations, and recovering value from waste through composting, animal feed programs, and recycling initiatives. These efforts also contribute to reducing our carbon footprint, which we continuously monitor to identify new opportunities for improvement. In addition, we promote authentic experiences through local suppliers, guides, and entrepreneurs, helping ensure that the benefits of tourism reach local communities directly while strengthening the cultural identity of each destination. Today, we celebrate achieving Biosphere Certified status as an important accomplishment, but also as motivation to continue moving forward. Sustainability is not a final destination but an ongoing commitment to the future. We will continue working to ensure that every experience, every operation, and every decision contributes to creating a positive and lasting impact on the people and destinations that inspire us.
