Who are we?
Since 2011, we offer bespoke solutions to tourism operators who want to make a tangible commitment to sustainable development.
To reduce the environmental footprint of tourist activities, we need to address all aspects of our activities : energy and water use, sustainable purchasing, waste management. At Betterfly Tourism, we’re committed to driving the tourism industry’s transition to a more prosperous future by reducing its environmental impact and costs through straightforward and accessible solutions.
Our name is inspired by the theory of the butterfly effect, to underline the importance of taking small steps and know that each step can end up having an important influence overall.
We have also chosen the universal image of the butterfly to encourage as many professionals as possible to begin this transition towards sustainable tourism.
