Leading the Global Movement for Humane Tourism
We inspire tourism partners and educate travelers to support sustainable, humane solutions that improve the lives of stray animals in tourism destinations.
Bridging Tourism and Animal Welfare Together for a Better Tomorrow
Why Humane Tourism Matters
Tourism brings millions of people to destinations where stray cats and dogs often struggle without access to humane, sustainable solutions. How these animals are treated shapes how travelers feel about a place and influences destination reputation, guest satisfaction, and community wellbeing.
CANDi leads the global movement for humane tourism by inspiring tourism partners, educating travelers, and supporting local initiatives that help fund sustainable, humane spay/neuter programs for stray animals in tourism destinations.
This work is sustained through donations from compassionate individuals and support from ethical, responsible tourism companies committed to humane practices.
