Eco-responsible Practices in Our Companies

Tourism plays a vital role in protecting cultural and natural heritage. As a result, tourists are increasingly mindful of the environment and seek activities associated with responsible and local tourism, such as slow tourism, outdoor adventures and agritourism. Indeed, travelling can bring social, economic, cultural and environmental benefits when done with respect for local communities and natural surroundings.

We are proud to highlight the efforts of Authentic Quebec businesses that have made significant strides in sustainable tourism and eco-responsibility, listed below.
