London (30 May):<\/strong> The June 2017 issue of ABTA Magazine<\/em> is now available online, with the print version sent to all members and subscribers. This issue, the cover story focuses on wilderness experiences in Africa, from spotting gorillas in Gabon\u2019s Loango National Park to chilling with penguins in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

As usual, ABTA Magazine<\/em> keeps its readers well informed when it comes to the ever-changing travel industry, with cutting-edge analysis and reports. This edition includes a special report on animal welfare and tourism, and also busts some myths when it comes to millennial travellers.<\/p>\n

Editor Jo Fletcher-Cross comments on the relevance of this month\u2019s special report: \u201cThis issue\u2019s animal welfare feature is a very important one and I\u2019m really proud of it. It\u2019s vital that the industry thinks carefully about how it can help people travel responsibly, and considers the impact of tourism on animal welfare. ABTA\u2019s guidelines, drawn up with the Born Free Foundation, have been leading the way in helping tour operators transform local practices. The feature in this issue takes a look at how these guidelines are helping, along with interesting case studies from some of travel\u2019s biggest names. There\u2019s so much at stake: we must pay attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

The June issue also takes readers on a journey around Puerto Vallarta on Mexico\u2019s Pacific coast, studies the high-end British tour company Insight Vacations, and soaks up the atmosphere on the neon-lit streets of Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

When it comes to inspirational travel content, we think the June issue of ABTA Magazine <\/em>is a great place to start. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n
