SUSTAINABILITY
The Tais Hotels & Villas is firmly committed to implement strategies promoting sustainable tourism practices and to uphold performance values aimed at protecting the wellbeing of our employees and the environment, while collaborating with community development projects. Sustainability is a key part of our philosophy; for this reason, we feel a great responsibility to help construct a better world.
The Corporate Sustainability committees of the Grupo CIO—the company to which The Tais Hotels & Villas belongs—are responsible for setting targets and performing a follow-up of the activities carried out around our three key pillars of action: our team, environment and community.
We encourage you to read about all of our activities in the Group’s annual Corporate Sustainability Report.
