The Travel Corporation partners with World Animal Protection to help protect animals in tourism

The Travel Corporation's family of brands including Contiki and Trafalgar, as part of its continuing sustainability journey, have partnered with World Animal Protection to help ensure their policies and itineraries improve the lives of animals everywhere they travel. World Animal Protection has worked with TTC in reshaping the experiences they offer to be more animal-friendly and supporting the phase out of cruel activities including bullfights, captive whale and dolphin attractions and, most significantly, removing elephant rides and shows from their trips visiting Thailand. "At TTC and our not-for-profit The Tread Right Foundation, we recognize the immense potential the travel industry has to change the world for the better and we can do that with the valuable guidance of leading organizations like World Animal Protection," says Brett Tollman, Chief Executive, The Travel Corporation and Founder, The Tread Right Foundation.   This past September in Bangkok, World Animal Protection brought together TTC and other leading global travel companies including TUI Group and EXO Travel to meet with representatives of elephant riding camps across Thailand. They demonstrated a shift in consumer demand for elephant-friendly tourism and encouraged local camps to phase out rides and shows and transition instead to elephant-friendly venues.
