Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your vacation will help support conservation and local people.

The Impacts of this Trip
We support a local initiative called TURISOPP which is developing at present directly with the people of the 9 local communities of the Province of Puerto Plata. The initiative is focusing on how they can better promote their local identity, and how to develop interesting new products for national and international tourists, thereby creating new job opportunities, especially for the local youth.
Within this initiative, we also sponsor the Gastronomic Festival in Sosua which is aimed at the multicultural community of Sosua with the idea of promoting intercultural exchange on behalf of the development of sustainable tourism in the town.
Sustainability and development through networking: within our study abroad programmes, we encourage our Spanish students to connect with locals and local NGO’s which we support. For students who are interested in making donations to support the local economy, we encourage them to source necessary items here in the country if available.
We motivate our students to use public transportation when traveling in or in between cities and we encourage them to buy local products in the small and medium sized local companies.
We promote the educational language training of local Dominicans and teach German and English to Dominicans and Haitians. It also serves as intercultural training for our Spanish students from abroad and our German/English speaking students.
