Policies

Our policies help guarantee high standards when it comes to responsible travel and sustainability across the business, including in our offices and destinations.

Responsible Travel & sustainability policy

Our policy outlines our sustainability efforts in all departments. Challenging but achievable, it works as a living document for our business, ensuring we keep sustainability and responsible travel at the forefront of everything we do. Each year, we’ll update the policy to make sure we maintain and improve our standards.

Animal Welfare policy

Working with animal welfare experts at ANIMONDIAL, we’ve extensively reviewed the experiences we offer involving animals. As a result, we’ve created and implemented a comprehensive set of policies to ensure your trip doesn’t have a detrimental effect on the welfare of working, captive or wild animals. This has included phasing out a number of experiences that didn’t meet our animal welfare standards and introducing ethical alternatives.

Where possible, animal encounters that we offer will have a positive effect, either on the individual animals you’re seeing or on the species as a whole. For example, proceeds from visiting a well-run animal sanctuary will help to support its work, while seeing wild animals in their natural environment encourages local people to conserve species and their habitats as they themselves see the benefits of wildlife tourism.

As well as actively avoiding experiences that exploit animals, we’re always trying to encourage our local partners to improve animal welfare standards.
