Mission & Vision
➢ Natour.CV (TOURISM CONSULTING AND TRAINING SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP Ltd) is a company that operates in the tourism sector in general, with a special focus on adventure tourism and ecotourism. It engages with other participants in this sector to help them develop exclusively, providing consulting services and guidance on the best ways to operate, and developing tourist circuits that value and transcend cultural differences, potentially bringing about significant structural changes to the local tourism sector.
➢ Part of our mission is also to provide and develop genuine and realistic experiences together with our people, known for their Morabeza (kindness and hospitality), in order to facilitate close and safe contact for participants/visitors, respecting the differences of each individual, thus creating a healthy environment for self-knowledge and exchange of experiences, leaving deep marks on each of us that serve as future inspirations and memories that we will carry for a lifetime.
➢ Natour.CV is guided by a strong and serious commitment to the environment and good practices for the protection and conservation of the surrounding environment, as well as the development and strengthening of adventure tourism and ecotourism activities with safety and respect for the cultural strength of the Cape Verdean people.
Tourism in general is a fundamental and strategic pillar within the economic system of the Cape Verdean nation.
We can highlight the nature tourism segment (ecotourism, adventure tourism), which has been quite significant and relevant for Cape Verdeans!
➢ With this in mind, our great ambition is to position ourselves within a 7 to 10-year horizon and be a firm and strategic partner, an agent of change in attitudes, assuming a strong commitment to the development of sustainable nature tourism that is fair for everyone.
➢ Working closely with other governmental institutions, NGOs, Cape Verdean travel agencies and tour operators, and foreign tourism agencies, with a special interest in sustainable tourism, in order to develop tourist circuits that value and respect the local culture and the Cape Verdean people, transforming each moment of our experiences into an element for disseminating good practices for protecting the environment.
Within Natour.CV, we believe that a better world is possible if we guide our actions with discipline and a clear awareness of the side effects resulting from inappropriate behavior. For this and other reasons, our conduct and decisions are guided and governed by clear principles and values defined in our code of conduct. Here, we share at least 5 fundamental values that guide our actions.
➢ The relationship with our employees and partners, as well as our clients, is extremely important to us. It is one of the areas we want to invest in most, in order to create and strengthen lasting bonds, so that together we can build a path of success and achievements for all of us.
➢ To grow and evolve alongside local communities, in a prosperous and healthy environment with respect and balance for nature.
