CASE STUDIES
Nature Positive Tourism training to the ABTA Sustainability Committee
ANIMONDIAL is partnered with many travel trade associations and often provides trainings and briefings to their members. With Nature Positive Tourism becoming a growing area of interest, ABTA invited ANIMONDIAL to present an introduction to the topic to members of its Sustainability Committee. The session provided an overview of the Nature Positive Tourism Roadmap, an insight into business obligations and the need to mainstream biodiversity, and key takeaways for travel businesses to get started on their own pathway.

An introduction to animal welfare in the supply chain with KUONI
“The training delivered by Helen and Daniel was excellent and we had such positive feedback from all those who attended. ANIMONDIAL helped shape our animal welfare guidelines and the training involved all stakeholders from the UK business. Their knowledge of the subject is outstanding, and the training was delivered in a way which helped everyone understand why the topic is so important and definitely helped inform the way our teams work. I’d have no hesitation recommending the ANIMONDIAL team, they have been and continue to be an invaluable support.”

Applying animal welfare safeguards in the supplier chain with GoVacation DMC
GoVacation is a principal DMC for the DER Touristik Group (DTG), and as part of DTG’s Animal Welfare Policy roll-out, it was essential to inform and motivate the GoVacation team. To best understand the DTG animal welfare commitment and implement the required measures on the ground, GoVacation Thailand employees were given an in-depth training with interactive sessions that required theory learnt to be tested for knowledge retention.
