Responsible travel is all about considering the impact that your trip has on the environment, ecosystems and communities it affects. When we travel we have the ability to create a positive impact on the places that we visit, and when we do it right, we can change the world.

In some areas, such as parts of rural Botswana or remote Rajasthan tourism helps to preserve the natural environment and ecosystems by providing a source of income and reducing the need for subsistence farming to destroy key habitats.

For many places around the world, the presence and help of tourism can discourage poachers and therefore protect endangered species such as rhinos or orangutans.

Highlights
