Travel For Better Town Hall: Responsible Wildlife Tourism

Few travel experiences leave a lasting impression quite like seeing wildlife in its natural habitat. As demand for these extraordinary encounters continues to grow, so do the questions surrounding how tourism impacts the very places and species travelers hope to experience.

Whether it's an African safari, a polar expedition, a marine wildlife encounter, gorilla trekking in Rwanda, tiger tracking in India, or a snow leopard expedition in the Himalayas, travel advisors play an important role in helping clients make choices that support conservation and protect the wildlife and wild places they come to experience. How can we discern which wildlife experiences create meaningful benefits for wildlife, local communities, and the ecosystems that make these extraordinary moments possible?

Join us for our next Travel For Better Town Hall as we explore what ethical wildlife tourism looks like in practice. Featuring Craig Beal of Travel Beyond, Ashton Palmer of Expedition Trips, and Amit Sankhala of Encounters Asia, this conversation will examine how we can evaluate wildlife experiences, ask better questions of our partners, and confidently recommend journeys that help protect the wild places clients travel to see.
