2026 Ibero-American Smart Tourism Destinations Awards

With deep satisfaction and gratitude, we are proud to share that our environmental commitment has been recognized twice at the 2026 Ibero-American Smart Tourism Destinations Awards, presented during the International Fair held in Brazil. This achievement reinforces our position as a benchmark in sustainable tourism and motivates us to continue protecting the environment we love so much.

This recognition highlights two of our most meaningful initiatives, which reflect how we live sustainability every day:

Zuana: A Lasting Footprint
Our environmental operations model, through which we integrate efficient resource use, water reuse, and plastic reduction, generating a positive and meaningful impact on the ecosystem of the Colombian Caribbean.

Stories That Dress
One of our leading circular economy and social impact initiatives. Through this project, we give a second life to nearly 2,000 kilos of textiles from our operations through remanufacturing processes. Thanks to this initiative, 15 talented women from Santa Marta transform these materials into high-value products, generating income for their families and strengthening their entrepreneurial journey.

While we are honored by these awards, our most important goal will always be to leave a positive footprint in our corner of the Caribbean. Seeing how our daily work protects resources, strengthens the region, and empowers our community is our greatest reward. We believe sustainability goes far beyond numbers; it is a genuine and human connection with the place we call home and the people who make it special.

For all of us at the Zuana family, this entire effort translates into something very clear that defines our essence: providing service from the heart.
