WHAT INDUSTRY LEADERS THINK

Shoba Chadda@ Red Coral

We at Red Coral believe in constant and continued dialog on wildlife and environment conservation initiatives as well as conscious business practices. TOFTigers has provided us with a fraternity and framework helping us to make great progress on this path along with our partners. It gives us the perfect platform to learn best practices and also an oppportunity to meet and interact with our travel trade partners who believe in the same ethos .

Being one of the first TOFTigers members to have signed up our association goes back many years. We are happy to be part of TOFTigers who have been the pioneers in issuing guidelines and for implementing and maintaining ecofriendly norms at the lodges. It is due to their hard work and persistence that today many of the lodges consistently adhere to good practices.
