Sustainability and the India Travel Industry

&Beyond's deeply entrenched social and conservation principles, as well as our model of responsible luxury adventure travel, is as valid in India as it is in Africa. We are committed to the preservation of India's incredible natural treasures, such as the rare Bengal tiger. Our Indian operations have benefited from our vast experience around the issues of sustainability and nature conservation in Africa. Extensive training has produced naturalists who can provide guests with a deep understanding of the reserves they are visiting and the issues that those natural sanctuaries face.

At &Beyond, we believe that it is essential for the communities surrounding India's national parks to receive viable benefits through sustainable and responsible tourism. Our lodges and the development programmes run around them strive to make meaningful opportunities available to those communities, from employment to income generation, education and health infrastructure. Only with the support of those communities, as well as the other stakeholders in the India's national parks, can these beautiful wilderness areas and their inhabitants be preserved.

Our guests play a crucial role in helping us realise our vision. By embarking on an adventure with us, they become part of our dream to integrate international travellers and rural people to their mutual benefit and to demonstrate that wildlife can be conserved on a sustainable basis by all. By choosing to travel with &Beyond, it is possible to have the journey of your life, while also making a real contribution to the future preservation of global biodiversity. It is thanks to our guests that we are able to make many small but meaningful differences to our planet.
