Palma de Mallorca, 28 January 2020.- Grupo Piñero, a Spanish tourism company with more than 40 years of history, has published the results of its "Changing the Effect" campaign. An initiative with which, through a mobile application and for the first time at FITUR, it registered the carbon footprint caused by the different means of transport used by visitors to its stand, with the aim of offsetting it by planting trees in the Caribbean destinations where it is present. 

Thus, after closing the last edition of the fair, Grupo Piñero registered a total of 12,901 kg of CO2, which translates into the planting of 1,290 trees of different native varieties in the different hotel complexes that the group has throughout the Caribbean.
