Sustainability Report

We live in an era where the heavy-weights of the tourism industry tout sustainability. Even Hilton, a name practically synonymous with mass tourism, promises to "lead the industry with products and programs" that not only "deliver great guest experiences," but also "protect the world we live in." Holland America Cruises publishes an annual "sustainability report," which includes not only the number of passengers abroad and nautical miles traveled, but also the total tons of carbon emitted. In the airline industry, Costa Rica's regional airline -NatureAir is the world's first carbon neutral airline, automatically including the cost of carbon off-sets into the fares of its regional flights. At the international level, Virgin America now offers passengers the opportunity to swipe their credit cards through their seat-back "Red" entertainment consoles and purchase carbon off-sets while in flight.

Significance LATAM is seeking to raise an estimated USD2.15bn to stay afloat while it resizes its operations and restructures its balance sheet to adjust to COVID-19's implications for the airline industry. Impacts With Aeromexico, LATAM and Colombia’s Avianca in bankruptcy proceedings, regional airline competition will be greatly reduced. LATAM’s downsizing will have an important local economic impact through its numerous suppliers, many of which are small businesses. In Chile, LATAM faces a class action suit which claims it owes customers some 200 million dollars, mostly for cancelled flights.
