With nearly 6000 holidays on www.responsibletravel.com we offer authentic travel experiences that cause the least damage to people and places. We're a holiday company which promotes responsible tourism. We're also an activist travel company which means we are not afraid to campaign and question the tourism industry in a bid to create change for the better.
This channel illustrates issues that we feel strongly about such as responsible tourism, overtourism, mass tourism and animal welfare issues in tourism.
As a business there are some types of holidays that we’ll never sell. We could make more money if we did but they go against our principles for responsible tourism, and we never do that. Some examples...

Mass tourism
Large cruise ships (over 250 passengers)
Orphanage tourism
Skiing holidays with fake snow (cannons)
Elephant back riding in camps and sanctuaries
