OUR STORY

Tequila is a Jalisco product that is part of our national identity. Synonymous with this is our prestigious and recognized Casa Tequilera Jose Cuervo, a company with more than 250 years of history and tradition, which has managed to cross borders, exporting our drink to over 100 countries and, with it, Mexico’s culture.

From Jose Cuervo’s heart, in 2003, our tourist division Mundo Cuervo was born, located in the Magic Town that has given origin and name to the famous Mexican elixir “tequila”. In this drink, both companies find their reason for existence, being convinced that this great treasure of history and tradition that this drink ages has to cross borders, putting the name of Mexico very high throughout the world.

Mundo Cuervo has constantly innovated in all the experiences it offers to its visitors. It is a company committed to society by sharing an interest in preserving culture and its traditions, coupled with the development of the magical town of Tequila, Jalisco.

Mundo Cuervo has decided to work on implementing a Quality Management System (QMS) and Distinctions and Certifications to align our commitment to the continuous improvement of our processes and quality so that all our visitors experience the excellence of our service.

The Responsible Tourism Institute is an affiliate member of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and a founding member of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). In addition, through the Responsible Tourism System, it promotes sustainability from a global and integrating perspective, focusing on the measurement that the tourism sector must and can do to be sustainable, inclusive, and fight against climate change.

Sustainable tourism certification systems play an increasingly important role in the regulation of tourism services, offering significant benefits for the environment and society in general in those places where they are developed. In this context, Mundo Cuervo contributes significantly to reducing its carbon footprint through initiatives such as the conservation of species and capture of Co2 in its Vivero Atizcoa, the production of biogas from agave bagasse, recycling machines to take advantage of waste (PET, aluminum, straws and/or bottle caps), environmental education for all the children who are members of the different programs as well as for schools and residents of Tequila.

It is a system applied in organizations. While some experts describe it as a process to share information, others state that it is a capacity to generate knowledge. In both cases, the same goal is always mentioned: to create value for the organization.

Knowledge management involves people working for the well-being of an entity. Through it, companies can create and disseminate vital information in a systematic and efficient way to achieve better performance in the organization's areas and improve their competitive advantages.

At Mundo Cuervo, we take advantage of these resources and implement a knowledge transmission and generation system that allows us to improve our processes, refine our collaborators' capabilities, and obtain greater benefits.

Mundo Cuervo has this system since 2012.
