This year, we helped support a range of great causes and partnered with a range of fantastic charities to make a difference.
Last month several UK Charitable Travellers went on an amazing tour of India in partnership with Wildlife SOS, where visitors explored India's magnificent Golden Triangle. Following these initial excursions, travellers volunteered at Wildlife SOS's Elephant Conservation and Care Centre and Agra Bear Rescue Facility - helping to care for endangered Indian wildlife.
Funds have also been donated by the Charitable Travel Fund to help residents in the Atlas Mountain town of Asni, Morocco. Funds have been used to provide aid and will continue to be used in the longer term to repair attractions and promote Morocco as a safe destination for UK travellers.
We continue to support our amazing charity partners through holiday bookings.
