To ensure the diverse and magnificent wildlife found in Asia is preserved and protected, so future generations can enjoy our natural world, we have developed our own animal welfare policy. This has been developed using the research and findings of organisations such as ABTA – The Travel Association, World Animal Protection, The Asia Captive Elephant Working Group (ACEWG), European Centre for Eco & Agro Tourism (ECEAT), Asian Captive Elephant Standards (ACES) and other specialists in the field. As travelers become increasingly conscious of the impact their holiday can have on a destination, and suppliers in Asia seek to develop more responsible travel experiences, it is our responsibility to clearly communicate our position while providing insight into issues surrounding animal welfare and sharing best practices.
