Make a CHOICE

FROM THE EDITOR Rebecca Miles

When I think about travel and where to travel next, I’m in a fortunate enough position to be able to make choices, and I think it’s fair to say that the same applies for many of our readers. To travel the world is an incredible privilege and for all of us at Charitable Travel it’s not one we take lightly.

But why the soul searching? Because this summer has been too hot or too wet or too unsettled for too many, and if we’re to have any impact on climate change, we need to make wise choices in everything we do. While we continue to need governments to make bold, sweeping improvements, we each have the power to choose better.

If you’re keen to tread lightly on your next trip, allow us to inspire you, in this issue, with a collection of incredible conservation holidays (from page 16) and a selection of alternative winter holidays (from page 26). And talking of choosing better, we’re proud to be the first media title to adopt an animal protection policy – you can read it here: charitable.travel/animal-welfare

You’ll find our ethos of travel for good running throughout the magazine – where will you choose to visit next?
