That was the message from former royal marine turned marine biologist and broadcaster Monty Halls, who brought the 2018 Aito overseas conference (November 22-25) to a close with an important, inspiring and encouraging message for those working in the travel trade.
Halls, who presented Channel 4’s My Family and the Galapagos earlier this year and has since been appointed brand ambassador for First Class Holidays, said after spending three months on the Galapagos with his family, the islands proved a “perfect lens” to examine wider ecological issues around the world and how there are always unforeseen consequences of tourism booms.
