MAKE TRAVEL MATTER
®
As you might expect from a family-built company with a big heart, Thompsons Africa is about sustainability and giving back. To help shape the face of the future Africa, our goal is to ensure that the environment and communities we explore remain vibrant for future generations. We do this in two ways: through our TreadRight Foundation, and our sustainability strategy, How We Tread Right.
Tread R ight Foundation
We are proud to be part of a joint initiative by The Travel Corporation family of brands, called The TreadRight Foundation — a not-for-profit supporting sustainable tourism projects around the world. To date, TreadRight has helped fund more than 60 projects worldwide. Learn about our project partners at treadright.org. How We Tread Right (HWTR) is The Travel Corporation’s (TTC) five-year sustainability strategy, which sets the mandate on sustainability at Thompsons Africa and our sister travel companies. Our strategy is based on 11 measurable goals, anchored to the United Nations Global Goals, which were developed to address Thompsons Africa’s impact on Planet, People, and Wildlife. Learn about our goals at ttc.com/hwtr. Through our foundation and our strategy, our three pillars of support are:
Planet
sustainability and conservation: ensuring that we’re protecting our invaluable landscapes and natural resources.
People
cultural preservation: ensuring that the true economic benefit of travel is felt by local communities.
Wildlife
protection of our world’s wildlife: while advocating for the highest standard of ethical wildlife experiences.
Protecting Our Wildlife
Our promise
At Thompsons Africa we are mind ful of the plight of wildlife across the globe and in Africa in parti cular. We are especially conscious of the importanc e of conserving our wildlife heritage. After all, we are blessed to be the caretakers of an abundance of wildl ife that brings so many travellers to our shores. Thompson s Africa does not support any wildlife interaction that we deem to be unethical in either its purpose or in any way results in cruelty as a side effect. As a priority we ensure that we are 100% involved with our partnered wildlife organisations, and as a member of The TreadRight Foundation, we practise the promise to make the welfare of our wildlife our num ber one concern. Our endorsement of the SATSA Anim al Interaction Charter further reinforces our commitment to an ethical approach to the long-term conservation of wildlife welfare.
