Tourism is a strategic sector for the Peruvian economy, yet it also generates negative environmental impacts, highlighting the need to foster pro-environmental behaviors. In this context, travel and tourism agencies, as intermediaries between supply and demand, play a key role in promoting sustainable practices, particularly through social media platforms. This study aimed to analyze the extent to which travel and tourism agencies in Peru promote pro-environmental behaviors in their digital publications. A quantitative approach was used, employing an observation guide to analyze social media posts on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok from a random sample of 369 agencies registered with the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism between March and May 2025. The results show that although most agencies maintain an active presence on social media, primarily on Facebook and Instagram, the frequency of pro-environmental publications is low. Inferential analysis revealed no statistically significant differences among agency types, although retail agencies showed a lower probability of reaching higher levels of commitment compared to tour operators. These findings underscore the need to integrate sustainability as a cross-cutting axis in the digital strategies of the tourism sector. Full article
