‘It’s our hope, here at Rickshaw Travel, that by sharing our own approach to animal welfare we might be able to help more small and medium sized businesses get started on their animal-friendly journey.’ – Jennifer Parker, Rickshaw Travel

ANIMONDIAL and Rickshaw Travel join forces!

Created through a collaboration of the UK travel business, Rickshaw Travel, and ANIMONDIAL, the guidance aims to inform and prepare travel businesses wanting to understand the complex topic, review their practices, and include animal welfare safeguards throughout their business.

Further impartial advice and practical guidance is available through ANIMONDIAL’s extensive services. Signing up to ANIMONDIAL’s newsletter will keep you abreast of animal welfare in tourism matters, additional Starter Kit materials, offers on ANIMONDIAL’s services, information on trusted NGO partners and key industry events.

‘This kit is a great starting place for travel businesses seeking to understand and promote animal welfare in the tourism experience. It offers a pathway to help enhance the welfare of animals and the people linked to them. In particular, the advice to ‘work with’ animal attractions to improve animal welfare rather than to simply drop them from company itinerary is priceless. While it may be the harder option, it is the best way to enact beneficial change.’ – Professor Neil Carr, co-author of Tourism and Animal Welfare (CABI, 2018) and co-editor of Wild Animals and Leisure: Rights and welfare (Routledge, 2018) and Domestic Animals, Humans, and Leisure: Rights, Welfare, and Wellbeing (Routledge, 2018)
