The Story of SustainableTourismColombia.org

This is how SustainableTourismColombia.org was born

The secret to a memorable journey lies in connecting the tourist destination you visit with your inner journey, guided by emotions and personal experiences.

Our Story

Today, SustainableTourismColombia.org has reached the hearts of thousands of travelers worldwide who visited Colombia. However, every success story has its own starting point. Did you know that SustainableTourismColombia.org was born after a trip its founder took to Europe, specifically to Düsseldorf, Germany, where he came to understand the natural and cultural wealth of Colombia? And that he returned with the sole purpose of creating the best travel agency in Colombia based on sustainable development? This is our story.

Our Roots

Jeinner Sánchez Delgado founded SustainableTourismColombia.org in 2020. In its early stages, he worked for over a decade in the Colombian inbound tourism sector as a tour guide, receptionist, B2C and B2B travel seller, auditor, travel designer, and tourism product coordinator. Pereira Risaralda, the city where Jeinner was raised, is a place that blends Antioquian and Caucasian culture, coffee, and modernity. However, it has been a city with high unemployment rates, prostitution, and microtrafficking.

For this reason, Jeinner had to emigrate to Europe in search of better opportunities and embark on new projects, characteristic of the coffee-growing Pereira residents. Years later, he returned to Pereira with everything he learned from German culture and put it into practice. He studied sustainable tourism management at the University of Pereira and reached the pinnacle of inbound tourism in Colombia, a field dominated by foreigners.

Now, not only is he one of the first Colombians to represent Colombia abroad, but many Colombians from different regions are offering the best tourism products from Colombia on an international level.

Purpose of the Project as a DMC Travel Agency

Our purpose is to ensure a journey of reflection with nature and humanity within each traveler, inspired by the place they are in.

As Colombia is the most biodiverse country in the world, we can optimize this journey and be the best tool for visiting the top tourist attractions in each Colombian region, leading to reflection on the world and nature from within.

Our Journey

We offer several decades of experience, starting from the limited tourism that was possible when Colombia had high levels of internal armed conflict, through the peace process, and now making the most of the peace that can be felt in every corner of Colombia.

Our Experiences and Lessons Learned

We have extensive experience in the service chain, covering all the details, and for this reason, we ensure an unforgettable positive experience that will make you want to return to Colombia again and again.

Why We Do This and Not Something Else

We are dedicated to the tourism sector in Colombia because we are passionate about living in and showcasing the country of beauty.

What We Offer and Why We Are Different

We want to bring about a positive change in humanity, and from each provider, we contribute the best we have as humans, especially what characterizes us as Colombians: charm.

Our Audience

We believe in supporting others to achieve professional and personal success and in developing leadership among every farmer, Indigenous person, Afro-descendant, Mestizo, White, and any local Colombian community, much more aligned with the needs of the traveler exploring Colombia.

Based on the articulation of all these tourism actors—from transportation services, lodging, and food, to tour guiding, souvenirs, and handicrafts—we create a space where we don’t compete but share. A space where we are all students and teachers at the same time, ensuring the best tourism service in Colombia.

Philosophy

Our services can only be close to perfection because we are human; that is our guarantee of improving the quality of life for everyone involved in the journeys aimed at solving problems with local communities and safeguarding natural and cultural resources.

Our brand is characterized by ensuring transformative journeys through humanized tourism services and a commitment to working as much as possible with local suppliers.

Conclusion of Our Story

We recognize that traveling is not only about being physically in a place; it is also about the intellectual and emotional inner journey inspired by the place you are in. The secret to traveling is the ability to connect the physical journey with the inner journey. We are the only travel agency that achieves this goal in the country of beauty, Colombia.
