Over the past thirty years, the Dianova Nicaragua Foundation has carried out a number of projects that have enabled thousands of Nicaraguans to improve their living conditions and quality of life. Europeo Hotel has been one of the most successful of these projects and for many years, part of its profits have been donated to the Dianova foundation, thus enabling it to ensure the sustainability of its other activities.

Coinciding with the recent recovery of Nicaragua’s economy which drew in more and more international tourists, the country’s hotel industry has developed a range of modern services, accessible to many. In this aim, the Hotel Europeo launched a major renovation and modernization operation in May 2016 in order to continue to offer competitive and quality services, worthy of a modern, environmentally friendly and engaged establishment … Engaged because in addition to the search for greater competitiveness within a growing tourism offering, the Europeo Hotel also wants to play a key role in the development of a joint initiative of the Dianova Nicaragua Foundation and Dianova International aimed at developing responsible tourism in the country.

The “Responsible Tourism in Nicaragua ” initiative aims to develop tourism as a traditional source of growth and as an instrument for combating poverty. Its objective is to consolidate the practice of responsible tourism while promoting education, cultural exchanges, environment protection awareness and, above all, the human development of the communities that are integrated in the tourism value chain, especially those most disadvantaged.

In a nutshell, the Responsible Tourism in Nicaragua initiative proposes “a way of traveling that does not turn its back on local communities, but rather contributes to their development”. To achieve this, Dianova has partnered with other not-for-profit organizations and tour operators with experience in the field of responsible tourism to offer travelers the opportunity of discovering an extraordinary country while participating actively in various social and community development initiatives.
