Protecting Animals & Nature in Adventure Travel
Protecting animals and nature involved in tourism, and the animals and people indirectly affected by its operation, has become a topic of increasing importance. The unwanted media attention generated by unscrupulous animal interactions and public concern, has caused many tour operators to ditch animal-based activities, whilst others are confused about what they can sell, and what not to sell. Fundamentally, animals and nature are vital to adventure tourism and the destinations we love to visit. Through adopting the right policies and procedures your company can help bring greater value and protection to animals and nature, fulfil your CSR and SDG obligations, and achieve Net Zero.
