The Green Initiative is an international climate certification and advisory services company, designing climate positive mitigation solutions to address climate change risks, market challenges, and innovation opportunities linked to the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. As a strategic partner for Inkaterra, The Green Initiative is responsible for the endorsement of Machu Picchu as the First Carbon Neutral Wonder of the World, whilst also certifying Inkaterra as the first-ever Climate Positive hotel brand.
The Green Initiative’s blog features an extensive article on Inkaterra’s groundbreaking approach to regenerative tourism.
“Inkaterra Hotels, deeply rooted in the Peruvian landscape, have made significant strides in mitigating their environmental impact while contributing to preserving Peru’s rich biodiversity,” writes editor Yves van Hemelryck. “Their Climate Positive certification is a testament to their dedication to combatting climate change and protecting their natural wonders surrounding their properties. The concept of Climate Positivity goes beyond mere carbon neutrality; it involves actively removing more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than the organization emits. Inkaterra Hotels achieves this through a multifaceted approach encompassing various sustainable practices across their properties. From reforestation initiatives to energy-efficient operations and community engagement, each aspect of their operations is meticulously designed to minimize environmental harm and maximize positive contributions to the ecosystem.”
The article also praises Inkaterra’s vision at the forefront of the regenerative tourism movement, through practices such as sustainable agriculture, ecosystem restoration, and the empowerment of local communities: “Their presence leaves a lasting positive impact on both the environment and the people who call these regions home. Inkaterra’s commitment to regenerative tourism enriches the guest experience. It serves as a beacon of hope for the future of responsible travel worldwide.”
