Expotur, Costa Rica's Tourism Commercialization Bourse has for some years now, set a trend within the International tourism fairs, when it acquired an environmental commitment in its organization and execution process.
For the coming edition in May of 2009, and just in time for the celebration of its 25th anniversary, the Fair will be adopting even more rigorous measures to transform this social event into one committed environmentally.
All measures possible will be taken to ensure the C-neutrality of the event, not only as refers to the air transport of participants, but certain actions will also be taken to compensate for all emissions released locally. The Bourse will promote an awareness-drawing activity between visiting wholesalers, and measures will be taken to benefit low-income communities and schools.
In addition they will be very strict when hiring suppliers so they comply with all expected responsibilities, environmental and social, as refers to guidelines. In so doing, Expotur aspires to become an element of consciousness-raising before all representatives of the national and international tourism industry responding to its summons year after year.
