Elephant-friendly travel companies

Travel companies all over the world are boldly committing to move away from selling and promoting cruel elephant tourism entertainment, such as rides and shows. By doing so, they are working with World Animal Protection to transition the tourism industry towards an elephant-friendly future. Commitments like these can take some time to implement and as such there may be companies on the list that are still working towards a complete phase out by an agreed future date. World Animal Protection recognises that change can’t always happen overnight, but will hold companies to account if they are not fulfilling their commitments to move away from cruelty to elephants.

Wildlife. Not Entertainers. Our campaign Wildlife – not entertainers is building a worldwide movement of wildlife protectors to stop wild animals being used for entertainment. We have a long history of campaigning to stop such abuse, including ending bear dancing in India, Turkey and Greece through our work with local partners and government officials.

This includes - but is not limited to - elephant rides and shows, interactions with dolphins, and petting of captive wild animals. Due to the sheer number of venues listed on TripAdvisor, some of these types of attractions may still appear on the platform. TripAdvisor welcomes members of the public or organisations bringing any of these attractions to their attention using this email address to raise concerns: awpolicyreview@tripadvisor.com * This list is not exhaustive and is regularly updated. Do

you know or are you a travel company that does not sell or promote venues offering elephant shows, rides, or other forms of direct contact between tourists and elephants? Please contact World Animal Protection via info@worldanimalprotection.org so we can tell the world. Have you been traveling with one of the listed travel companies and were you offered (at own expense) an elephant ride or a visit to an elephant show during your holiday? Please make your complaint to the travel company directly, and report this to us via info@worldanimalprotection.org

Companies with no country abreviation operate in

multiple countries.
