Animal welfare
At Animal Wise, we are committed to transforming the tourism sector into a space where animal welfare is not just a goal but an ongoing and essential practice. We recognize that tourism activities can significantly impact animals and their habitats, and we are dedicated to minimizing these effects.
“El turismo responsable no solo es una tendencia, es una necesidad para el futuro del sector”
Responsible tourism with animals:
A pillar of Sustainability
What is Sustainable Tourism with Animals?
Sustainable tourism with animals focuses on ensuring that all tourist activities involving animals are ethical and responsible. This means that the experiences offered should not only be unforgettable for visitors but also safe and respectful for the animals involved. From nature walks to wildlife watching and visits to rescue and conservation centers, every activity is carefully designed to minimize impact on animals and their habitats.
Sustainability also means protecting ecosystems and ensuring that these activities do not cause harm or disturbances that could affect animals or their environment in the long term. We aim for these experiences to endure over time without compromising the health, welfare, or survival of species, nor the integrity of their natural habitats.
At Animal Wise, we lead the transformation of the tourism sector toward more responsible and sustainable practices. By advising, training, and auditing tourism companies, we ensure that responsible animal tourism is not just a statement of intent but a real and effective practice.
Contribution to Sustainability
Biodiversity conservation
By choosing activities that respect wildlife, you directly contribute to the conservation of species and their natural habitats. This is vital to maintaining biodiversity, essential for the ecological health of the planet.
Support for local communities
Many of our activities are carried out in collaboration with local communities, providing not only employment, but also a source of income that favors conservation projects led by these communities.
Education and awareness
Responsible animal tourism offers a unique platform to educate tourists about the importance of respecting wildlife and ecosystems. This education is key to fostering broader environmental awareness and promoting sustainable practices among visitors.
Promotion of ethical practices
Through the certification and training of tourism companies, we ensure that ethical practices are the norm and not the exception in the tourism industry. This includes the promotion of activities that do not exploit animals and that promote their well-being and conservation.
Sustainable Tourism Guides for Responsible Animal Experiences
These guides will be available for free and are designed both for travelers who want to make more responsible choices during their trips and for professionals looking to improve their practices. They will include practical recommendations, actionable advice, and clear guidance on how to behave in different types of animal-related activities, aiming to promote more respectful, conscious, and sustainable tourism.
We are working in collaboration with industry experts to soon publish our responsible animal tourism guides.
