NexusTours, the premier Destination Management Company (DMC) in the Caribbean, Central America, and North America and a key member of the GoNexus Group, is thrilled to unveil its innovative partnership with EcoCart, a leading sustainability platform. This collaboration marks NexusTours as the first DMC across Latin America, North America, and the Caribbean to provide carbon-neutral last-mile transfers for e-commerce purchases through NexusTours.com and its associated white label platforms.

This eco-conscious option is available not only on NexusTours.com but also on other platforms managed by the company, including Royalton Luxury Resorts, significantly broadening the scope and influence of the initiative.

Through this forward-thinking integration, NexusTours offers its travelers the ability to neutralize the carbon emissions (CO2) associated with their transfer services, promoting a “carbon neutral” travel experience. By contributing a modest amount, customers can counteract their carbon emissions, with all contributions going towards diverse social and environmental initiatives globally. These include vital reforestation projects that address climate change and provide essential resources and advantages to local communities and ecosystems.

Rubén Gutiérrez, President of GoNexus Group, said: “At NexusTours we are the first DMCs to embrace carbon emission offsetting—a practice that, while common in other industries such as aviation, not among DMCs. This bold step demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and leadership in the travel sector.”

Ruben added: “We are deeply committed to leading the way in sustainable travel. Our partnership with EcoCart marks a significant milestone in our efforts to minimize our environmental impact and offer our travelers 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 are also supporting crucial reforestation projects that benefit communities and ecosystems worldwide.”

Concepción Moreno, Marketing and ESG Director at GoNexus Group added: “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 now we are implementing a comprehensive ESG strategy aimed at reducing our environmental impact and overall carbon footprint. We call on the industry to make this a standard! Together, we can set a new benchmark for sustainability in the travel sector and beyond.”
