The British Ecuadorian Chamber recognized the "Chaski Route" social project

On November 25th the first British Ecuadorian Chamber Charity Ball took place where its main objective was to collect donations for projects inside the Corporate Social Responsibility focus. Eight projects were submitted by the Chamber members and Kleintours "Chaski Route" project was within the three finalists.

We feel deeply satisfied of the fact that Salinas and Magdalena communities have progressed so positively -and in such a short time- in terms of sustainable development, becoming essentially self-sufficient in terms of the management of their many ventures.
This is an important recognition for our company and it encourages us to keep on working with our communities and we are sure our Partners will continue supporting this development given that tourism plays a progressively more important role in the development of communities, not only by generating jobs but also by revalorizing the communities' assets, their culture, traditions, food, and beliefs.
