Being a Compassionate Traveler

When you make plans for your cruelty-free holiday—whether it's lounging on Barcelona's beaches, trekking the Himalayas, or cruising Venetian waters in a gondola—PETA provides all the information that you'll need for fun, animal-friendly travels.

Dream Vacation or Animals' Worst Nightmare?

The first steps to compassionate travel are increasing your awareness of the mistreatment of animals that you may encounter and avoiding spending money in ways that will fuel more abuse. Don't get caught forking out money for those who profit from animal suffering. PETA identifies some common attractions that have hidden animal abuse and points out those that are blatant but still draw crowds.
