24.01.2022 Overtourism describes destinations where hosts or guests, locals or visitors, feel that there are too many visitors and that the quality of life in the area or the quality of the experience has deteriorated unacceptably. It is the opposite of Responsible Tourism. Here the CEO of Responsible Travel discusses the various solutions currently in use.
23.01.2022 When traveling, it is so important to consider what is best for the local community, especially the local children. Too often tourism encourages unethical behaviour in order to please the tourist. This comprehensive guide by Intrepid outlines their policy and why. Its a great policy for every responsible traveler to be guided by.

15.01.2022 So happy to hear this! Better World Travel had previously stopped promoting Camp Jabulani due to its use of elephants for elephant riding, and had made this point known. It seems they listened to us as well as others who had voiced strong concern. Things are moving in the right direction! Remember, wherever you travel where elephants are, do not engage in Elephant Riding! No matter what you are told, it is impossible for this practice to be ethical. Avoid direct interaction a...lso. "By 1 April 2017, The Elephant Experience at Camp Jabulani will no longer include elephant rides. The increasing international pressure against elephant-back safaris, because of the abusive way in which a proportion of the animals are sadly trained, prompted this decision. Based on our approach to animal welfare issues, we are in agreement with the negative sentiments relevant to abusive methods of training" See more
12.01.2022 I dont think anyone becomes a responsible traveller without realising they have made travel mistakes in the past. In this campaign, Intrepid encourages travellers to purge their guilt by admitting their mistake, then we can move on and concentrate on being a responsible traveller and spreading the word!

10.01.2022 Lake Toba, Sumatra, Indonesia is a new sustainable tourism destination that offers beauty in landscape, community experiences, adventure and authenticity. Only recently developed as a tourist destination, it has been very carefully managed to ensure sustainability.
10.01.2022 JUST BECAUSE IT IS AT AN AUSTRALIAN ZOO, DOES NOT MEAN THIS IS ANY DIFFERENT. It is embarrassing that we support this in our country. Change begins at home. Please sign the petition. For an elephant to perform actions it would not do in the wild, whether this be painting, or accepting a human onto its back etc, it must undergo a cruel breaking in process. Whether a baby elephant has been born in captivity or captured from the wild, its mind, body and spirit are first broken through a process called the phajaan. Meaning crushing, this ancient technique involves separating calves from their mothers a highly traumatic experience for these tightly-bonded animals before being tied down or squeezed into a small space, starved, dehydrated, and beaten repeatedly.
08.01.2022 "Travel, unlike anything else in life, has the beautiful ability to give you benefits you didnt expect. It doesnt just teach you what you dont know, it also teaches you what you dont know you dont know."

06.01.2022 Rhinos Without Borders is a joint initiative between andBeyond and Great Plains Conservation that aims to translocate 100 rhino from high-risk poaching areas in South Africa to the comparative safety of Botswana. With a rhino killed every eight hours, more of these African icons are now being lost to poachers every year than are being born. This project is essential to their survival in the wild.

04.01.2022 Have you been to any of these? Do you plan to in 2018?
02.01.2022 Elephant camp owners are realising that more and more tourists are becoming informed on the suffering to elephants used for rides and therefore they are removing the chairs forever and instead offering programs such as a walk with elephant experience.
02.01.2022 Greener flying took off over the Christmas holidays in the form of a single-use plastic-free flight from Portugals coastal capital of Lisbon to Brazils northeastern city of Natal.
