London, 26th May 2015 – Southall Travel, a leading travel company in the UK, sponsored the 10thAnniversary event of TOFTigers held on Thursday, 21st May, in London. The event featured a gala reception for its members and invited guests at the Royal Geographical Society. Visitors also had the opportunity to meet some of the best wildlife tour operators in the UK. The reception was followed by an evening of inspiring talks.
Travel Operators for Tigers (TOFT) was founded by pioneering safari operators in 2005 and is a ‘collective action’ campaign, aimed at the wildlife and preservation sector of the travel industry including governments, parks, communities, operators and visitors, to advocate, plan, endorse and support better and sustainable tourism to save tigers and their natural in habitats; the forests.
Southall Travel’s Director of Sales, Mr Jaymin Borkhatria, supported the need for tiger conservation and expressed his enthusiastic support to the cause.
“We are proud to be associated with TOFTigers and congratulate them on their 10th Anniversary. Tigers are one of the most iconic creatures on the planet and we fully support this initiative to protect this majestic animal in the wild,” said Mr Borkhatria.
He pointed out the idea of taking a tiger safari is something every wildlife enthusiast planning holidays in India wants to do. India is home to highest number of tigers in the world and it is vital for travel companies to support such campaigns.
“We hope to highlight the need for responsible, sustainable and eco-friendly travel practices in the Indian Subcontinent. By joining this campaign, we aim to raise awareness to travel companies and travellers alike and respect the work and efforts TOFTigers have done to halt the declining tiger population”, Mr. Borkhatria added.
Southall Travel is the preferred choice in the UK for holidays and flights to India. Every year, the company arranges many wildlife holidays to the country to see these majestic cats.
