NexusTours – the leading DMC in the Caribbean, Central America and North America, and part of GoNexus Group, a leading mobility and experiential travel group – is proud to announce an innovative partnership with EcoCart, a sustainability platform that calculates and offsets the carbon emissions of online orders, becoming the first destination management company (DMC) in Latin America, North America and the Caribbean to offer carbon-neutral last-mile transfers for e-commerce purchases made on NexusTours.com and other affiliated white-label platforms.
Travelers can benefit from this carbon-neutral option not only on the NexusTours.com platform, but also on additional white-label platforms managed by the company, such as Royalton Luxury Resorts, thus expanding the reach and impact of this initiative.
With this innovative integration, NexusTours travelers now have the option to offset the carbon (CO2) emissions of their transfer services, ensuring their trip is “carbon neutral.” This pioneering initiative allows customers to contribute just a few dollars to offset their carbon footprint, with all proceeds going to support various social and environmental projects around the world. These projects include critical reforestation efforts, which not only combat climate change but also provide vital resources and benefits to local communities and ecosystems.
Rubén Gutiérrez, President of GoNexus Group, said: "At NexusTours, we are the first DMC to adopt carbon offsetting, a practice that, while common in other industries such as aviation, is not common among DMCs. This step demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and our leadership in the travel sector."
Ruben adds: “We are deeply committed to leading the way in sustainable travel. Our partnership with EcoCart marks an important milestone in our efforts to minimise our environmental impact and offer our travellers the opportunity to make a positive difference. By choosing to offset their carbon footprint, our customers are not only helping to protect the planet, but also supporting crucial reforestation projects that benefit communities and ecosystems around the world.”
Concepción Moreno, Marketing and ESG Director at GoNexus Group: "This collaboration with EcoCart is part of a broader environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy that we are currently developing. We have recently calculated our carbon emissions, and we are now implementing a comprehensive ESG strategy aimed at reducing our environmental impact and our overall carbon footprint. We call on the industry to make this the norm. Together, we can set a new benchmark for sustainability in the travel sector and beyond."
