Sustainable Tourism

Medical Tourism Guatemala, a.k.a. Spa-Med-Holiday follows the principles of Sustainable Tourism, which aims at improving the quality of life of everybody involved in the tourist sector.

Sustainable tourism favors a win-win situation: it enhances the life experiences of the tourist and benefits the host people, while respecting their cultural identity and their natural environment.

We prefer to contract small family businesses and individual proprietors rather than large corporations, as it is the case for our hotel accommodations in Antigua or at Lake Atitlan, for instance.

Our Wellness Program includes ecotourism and the use of renewable resources and natural therapies..

Our efforts go beyond the mere ecotourism activities: wherever possible we reach out to artisans, local communities and NGO’s to contribute to the fair distribution of the tourism benefits.
