Our approach to sustainability is a journey we embrace together, with the future as our destination.

Respecting the environment, local territories and communities, placing locations and people at the centre, and enhancing travel experiences through responsible choices. This has always been part of Medov’s identity, a sensitivity that guides all our proposals and that led us to obtain GSTC (Global Sustainable Tourism Council®) certification for Shorex services in Italy.

We are currently the only cruise-dedicated tour operator in Italy to have obtained this prestigious recognition. This achievement demonstrates our ongoing and concrete commitment to a more ethical and sustainable tourism model and provides assurance to clients, partners and stakeholders who choose Medov as their trusted reference for more responsible and conscious tourism.

For us, this certification is an important starting point: an incentive to continue travelling responsibly, alongside all those who share our vision of the future.
