Destination Management Company of the Year – Quito, 2026
Quinti is the first company in Ecuador and Latin America to design travel experiences based entirely on the senses. Instead of focusing on what travelers see, Quinti invites them to experience a destination through sound, touch, taste, smell, and emotional presence. This sensory approach is deeply connected to regeneration. By slowing down travel and grounding it in real human interaction, Quinti strengthens local economies and creates meaningful exchange between visitors and communities. The company works with blind sensory guides and facilitators from underserved communities, who lead immersive experiences from their own perspective. Their role is not symbolic — it is central. Through them, travelers discover new ways of perceiving territory, culture, and nature. This model promotes inclusion, dignity, and economic opportunity where it is most needed. Quinti’s impact has received international recognition. It was awarded at World Travel Market Latin America for Responsible Tourism, recognized in Spain at RUTEALC, and named finalist at ITB Berlin in the Equality in Tourism category. Working directly from the territory, Quinti acts as a bridge between travelers and communities, ensuring that tourism generates shared value rather than extraction. Quinti proves that travel can be inclusive, regenerative, and deeply human — all at the same time.
