Rota Tropical is a member
of the WHL - World Hotel Link, an organization that promotes
sustainable global tourism. We follow the principles of
development the local tourism companies in sustainable
practices, whether an environmental nature, cultural or
educational. Meet some of our initiatives:
Promoting and qualification
of local labor
About 40% of our employees are from the local community.
The current policy of the company is hiring employees
from other locations only if is no availability in the
region, which now accounts for 60% of seats.
As the main impediment the hiring of local labor is
the lack of English skills, we offer an educational
grant for several of ours co-workers, so they can attend
an English course.
Library open to the public
The library began as a hobby, now has
more than 500 books. The specialty is the genre "adventure"
with travel books, sailing and mountaineering, but also
has a considerable collection of Brazilian and foreign
literature, classics and juvenile books. The library is
open to all tourists and the community who can attend
and check out those books for free.
Humpback Whale
In partnership with the “Instituto Baleia Jubarte”,
we developed a whale watching tour, following the principles
of sustainability and contributing, even financially,
with the whale’s preservation.
Optimal use
of energy
Every lamps in the
company's headquarters, both in attendance as a front
and back office are economic, resulting in energy savings
of about 80%. Still, in many areas the company uses only
natural energy during the day, further enhancing the economy.
Practically all desktop computers have been replaced by
laptops, which consumes 70% less energy. And the natural
ventilation allows keeping a pleasant working place, even
in the warmer season of the year, without using the air-conditioner.
Recycled
Paper and “non-paper”
With few exceptions, all the paper used in the company
is recycled. Moreover, in most applications is used
printed front-and-verse. Almost all communication within
the company is already electronic, decreasing by 70%
the use of paper.
Choice of partners
Rota Tropical always have a preference for working with
partners that also develops sustainable activities.
And you can collaborate with local sustainability by
making your reservations with a partner that follows
the principle of "Caring for destination"
in the destinations where we operate: Morro
de São Paulo, Itacaré
e Salvador.
