With more travel agents placing sustainability and animal welfare at the heart of their businesses, a new question is emerging – should these same standards apply to the fam trips we attend?
As a founding member of the Responsible Travel Advisor Collective (RTAC), along with Annika Nickson, the answer for Annika and I is straightforward; if we're asking clients to think more carefully about the impact of their travel choices, we hold ourselves – and our sector – to the same standard.
Yet, both of us have on fam itineraries encountered attractions that failed to align with our core values. It raises an important question – are we asking enough questions before we travel?
