Community and Environment

At Sodadetour, our connection to Cape Verde goes far beyond tourism. We are deeply socially, culturally, and environmentally committed to the communities and natural landscapes that make each island unique. Our business strategies are designed to create meaningful travel experiences while actively preserving the environment, supporting local livelihoods, and respecting cultural heritage.

We believe that tourism should be a force for good—one that benefits local communities, protects natural resources, and ensures that future generations can continue to enjoy Cape Verde’s beauty.

Commitment to Local Communities

We actively support and engage with local communities by:

  • Prioritizing local guides, drivers, artisans, and suppliers

  • Promoting authentic cultural experiences that respect traditions and customs

  • Ensuring fair and ethical working conditions for all collaborators

  • Encouraging cultural exchange that is respectful, inclusive, and non-exploitative

Our goal is to ensure that tourism contributes directly to local economic development and community well-being.

Cultural Respect & Preservation

Cape Verde’s culture is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to:

  • Respecting local customs, values, and social norms

  • Avoiding activities that commercialize or misrepresent cultural heritage

  • Educating travelers on appropriate behavior and cultural sensitivity

  • Supporting initiatives that preserve local traditions, music, cuisine, and history

Environmental Responsibility

We recognize the fragility of island ecosystems and take active steps to minimize our environmental impact by:

  • Promoting environmentally responsible excursions and low-impact activities

  • Encouraging waste reduction, recycling, and responsible consumption

  • Avoiding harm to wildlife, marine life, and protected areas

  • Supporting conservation efforts and sustainable use of natural resources

We continuously evaluate our operations to reduce our ecological footprint wherever possible.

Responsible Travel Policy

Our Responsible Travel Policy guides every aspect of our operations, from excursion planning to partner selection. This policy ensures that:

  • Environmental and social considerations are integrated into decision-making

  • Activities comply with local environmental laws and regulations

  • Sustainability is prioritized over short-term profit

Traveler Responsibility

We invite our guests to be active participants in responsible tourism by:

  • Respecting nature, wildlife, and protected areas

  • Minimizing waste and avoiding single-use plastics

  • Respecting local culture, people, and community spaces

  • Choosing experiences that support sustainable development

Travel is a shared responsibility—and positive impact starts with awareness.
