Above & Beyond Holidays Sustainability Actions

Responsible hotel selection

The company says it chooses small, independently owned hotels and guesthouses that reinvest money in the local area. It looks for places that hire local people, including in management roles, and that buy food from nearby markets or farmers. It also expects accommodation to use basic environmental steps such as saving water, reducing laundry, and cutting energy use. This is meant to lower the footprint of a holiday while keeping more money in the destination.

Support for conservation trips

The company says nature and wildlife trips are a core part of its work. It sends customers to national parks and private reserves that protect habitats, and it provides pre-trip advice and local guides so visitors behave more carefully in sensitive places. It also says it supports ecotourism models that help protect natural areas from more damaging forms of development.

Animal welfare screening

The company says it prefers 'no-touch' animal attractions, meaning experiences where visitors do not handle animals. It also says it avoids tiger attractions in Southeast Asia and only works with a small number of sanctuaries after checking welfare standards closely. It says it keeps these places under review using customer feedback and checks from independent experts and local partners.

Community-based tourism

The company says it tries to include stays with local communities wherever possible. It uses community guides and community-run accommodation, and it works with ground operators to spread income more fairly. It also says it monitors these trips regularly and gives customers a chance to give feedback, because community tourism can be hard to manage well.

Tourism-linked support only

The company says it does not donate to charities or projects that are not connected to tourism. Instead, it focuses on groups that use tourism to support livelihoods or environmental goals. It gives examples such as restaurant schools that train local people, showing that it wants its support to stay tied to the trips it sells.
