"Tim has a wealth of experience to offer and I’m excited to be working with him to help shape responsibletravel.com’s big plans for the future. When I started responsibletravel.com 12 years ago, I was determined to create a commercially successful business as well as a business with a soul and a heart to it. Tim deciding to join our Board is a clear sign that responsibletravel.com is up there with the key players – a true pioneer in its own right."

"I’m a great believer in the benefits that tourism – when done thoughtfully – can bring to destinations and communities. My work in responsible tourism with ABTA and on the ground in Africa has shown me just that. I’m excited to be lending my experience to a growing business which holds responsible tourism at the heart of what it does. There’s a great deal of commercial potential in responsibletravel.com plus a huge opportunity to help drive social change. I’m energised about both."
