At Sandra Dowling Travel, we’re passionate about creating unforgettable travel experiences that are ethical, sustainable, and respectful to the natural world. While we work with a variety of trusted tour operators to arrange your perfect holiday, we are committed to promoting high standards of animal welfare throughout the travel experiences we recommend.

✨ What We Believe In:

• Animals should not suffer or be exploited for human entertainment.

• Wildlife experiences should prioritise observation in natural habitats over hands-on interactions.

• Activities that cause distress, pain, or unnatural behaviours in animals have no place in responsible tourism.

🌿 Our Approach:

• We aim to only work with tour operators who follow globally recognised animal welfare standards (such as those outlined by ABTA, World Animal Protection, and other leading organisations).

• We do not promote or sell activities involving captive animal performances, elephant rides, swimming with captive dolphins, or similar attractions.

• We encourage wildlife experiences that respect the animals’ natural behaviour and freedom, such as observing animals in the wild with minimal disturbance.

🤝 Working Together for Better Tourism:
We are continually reviewing the activities we recommend to ensure they align with ethical and sustainable practices. We also encourage our clients to be mindful travellers by choosing experiences that prioritise animal welfare.

We recognise that our influence is part of a larger chain—and by choosing responsible operators, we hope to help shift the industry towards kinder, more sustainable tourism.
