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
“The sight of a starving stray dog can haunt the rest of your vacation and follow you home, forever connected to your family’s holiday memories.”
Why Humane Tourism Matters
Vacation memories should last a lifetime-not a heartbreak.
How animals are treated shapes how travelers feel about a destination and impacts guest satisfaction, reputation and community wellbeing.
