"Tourism is like fire.....you can cook your dinner on it, but if you are not careful it will burn your house down."
This pretty much sums up our concerns about the industry. We believe travel can enrich the lives of travellers and communities visited in countless ways.......but that done badly, it is one of the most destructive of all industries. With WHL's particular focus on destinations in the developing world and off-the-beaten-track, we have been working with our local partners and suppliers to explore new ways to build a sustainable future for travel. whl.travel is one of a family of travel sites in the WHL Group, each one of which is working on one or more initiatives to improve outcomes for local communities and the environment in some way.
