Agents should not ignore the recent surge in interest in responsible tourism, according to broadcaster and marine biologist Monty Halls.

The former Royal Marine was a guest speaker at the new Wildlife & Safari Travel Show, which took place in Harrogate at the end of September.


“There is a groundswell of interest in living more responsibly because of Blue Planet II – it’s almost unprecedented,” he said.


“Twenty years ago it wasn’t high on the list for travellers, but now people want to go to places responsibly, and it’s really important for the enablers of those who go on holiday to play a part. Any agent who ignores the trend is a fool unto themselves.”
