Portugal Vegan Tour: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://veggiesabroad.com/portugal-vegan-tour-2025/⁠⁠

Nicole Barrantes from World Animal Protection joins Rebecca to talk about the reality behind animal encounters in tourism—like dolphin shows, elephant rides, wildlife selfies, and more. They unpack how these experiences are often marketed as ethical or conservation-based, but in truth can cause serious harm to animals. Nicole shares the work her team is doing to push companies like TripAdvisor, GetYourGuide, and Six Flags to stop promoting these attractions, and offers advice for travellers who want to make more responsible choices. They also touch on the role of social media, greenwashing in the travel industry, and how to support truly ethical wildlife experiences.
