ACTIONS for responsible tourism
The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism has created a policy against sexual exploitation of children and adolescents (ESNNA). The ESNNA code and HIERBA BUENA TOURS EIRL Peru have an agreement for joint actions to prevent and eradicate this problem.
The ESNNA Programme and Our Commitment
This policy programme for social development and protection of vulnerable populations is a broad and complex initiative of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur).
It consists of sensitising and training the entire sector in our country with the aim of preventing and ultimately eliminating the sexual exploitation of minors and we are aligned with the most demanding government regulations for optimal tourism quality.
Specifically in the case of authorised and certified tourism agencies such as HIERBA BUENA TOURS EIRL PERU, the ESNNA programme requires the adherence to a Code of Conduct, which is signed with Mincetur. It requires the company to disseminate this initiative, its rules and objectives. It also requires adequate training of staff and suppliers. Of course, the company commits itself to work according to all the requirements of the Code.
Unfortunately, child trafficking is a serious problem in Peru, but it is being combated. Through ethically responsible tourism, HIERBA BUENA TOURS EIRL PERU brings development, economic activity and improved living standards to the destinations we visit. In that line, our commitment to the ESNNA programme also generates that we help to reduce and eradicate the sexual exploitation of minors.
Concrete Actions - ESNNA Code
Adherence to the Code of Conduct of the NAASC programme commits us to a series of actions that are constantly implemented and reinforced as part of our activities.
Our office staff, as well as the logistics staff (guides, counsellors, drivers, porters) are already duly trained to contribute to the Code of Conduct. Tourists, whether nationals or foreigners, are not offered in any way, nor do we agree to any request regarding sex tourism with children or adolescents, for both ethical and legal reasons.
In the same vein, we work together with our partners (hotels, restaurants, etc. and all their staff) to ensure that the objectives and commitments to the CSEC programme are met in all sectors and stages of the tourism services we provide.
All of us at HIERBA BUENA TOURS EIRL Peru and our partners in our operations are committed to enforcing the Code of Conduct and to reporting to the authorities when necessary.
As an addition to the commitment to a policy of social responsibility in HIERBA BUENA TOURS EIRL Peru, we contribute to the welfare of children in our country, bringing constant income to the families of our tourist destinations and also supporting children on special occasions.
The actions of the ESNNA code and HIERBA BUENA TOURS EIRL Peru stand out and have priority within our social responsibility policies. We seek that tourism is an activity that leaves only benefits for the region and the country, according to the stipulated in the mission, vision and corporate values.
