Building Exemplary Destinations: Why Tourism Must Lead-Starting with Cruelty-Free Communities
Exemplary destinations are not defined only by beautiful landscapes, high-end hotels, or memorable attractions. They are defined by the standards a place sets for how it treats life—human and non-human—and by how consistently those standards are protected as tourism grows. In that sense, the most credible starting point for destination excellence is simple and visible: becoming a cruelty-free destination, where stray dogs and cats and other animals are treated humanely, and where structured programs for assistance, adoption, veterinary care, vaccination, and sterilization are not occasional charity, but a permanent part of destination governance.
