ANIMAL WELFARE IN TOURISM.

The welfare of domestic animals in tourism is of essential importance for ensuring ethical and sustainable practices. Animals, such as horses, donkeys, dogs, camels, and elephants, play integral roles in providing memorable experiences for tourists worldwide. However, prioritizing their welfare is crucial to mitigate potential risks and ensure their physical and psychological well-being. Proper accommodation, care, training, and regular supervision are essential components of promoting animal welfare in tourism. By adhering to industry guidelines, implementing responsible management practices, and raising awareness among stakeholders, including tourists, governments, and tour operators, we can create tourism experiences that not only delight visitors but also respect and protect the welfare of domestic animals. Ultimately, fostering a culture of ethical treatment and care for animals in tourism contributes to the sustainability of the industry and enhances its reputation as a responsible and compassionate endeavour.
