MATER Sustentable

MATER is a travel agency created by tourism professionals with a focus on responsible tourism experiences. They are a young and dynamic team who know the destinations and they are in every detail to achieve unique trips with a real exchange between locals and visitors and in total respect for the natural and cultural environment of the place being visited.
Ethical Commitment:
Mater is one of the first inbound tour operators in Argentina focused on responsible travel experiences. They work closely with community-based tourism programs, cooperatives and NGOs. One of their aims is to promote the local culture and the natural heritage of Argentina, so they organise different types of tours and activities. Their community-based tourism programs were their first step because the traditional inbound tour operators only offer classic tours. They also hold conferences about community-based tourism, how to commercialise these programs and how to empower them. They organise cultural tours, rural tourism programs and they are developing new tours to emerging destinations in Argentina. They also carry out good practices about environment protection and they have been recently certified by the Ministry of Tourism due to our environmental protection policies/practices. They are partners of WWF in Argentina (Fundación Vida Silvestre) contributing to their program “Check out for Nature”.
