What is TOFT?

Travel Operators for Tigers (TOFT) is a unique campaign.

Founded by a group of concerned Tour Operators, TOFT has now expanded to become a pioneering International 'collective action' campaign, run by Travel Professionals, aimed at those within the nature travel industry and all visitors to India's wildlife parks, to advocate, endorse and support more responsible use of wilderness areas in India, and the Indian sub continent.

PUG Ratings

PUGTOFT have developed a unique system of rating the ‘footprint’ of individual lodges and hotels in wilderness regions, which we have not surprisingly called the PUG rating. If you are a visitor to any Tiger Park, you can now use the best lodges to ensure you travel with the lightest footprint and put the most back into preserving India’s wildlife. If you are an International travel agent or Indian ground handler, you can also use these ratings to make judgements on which lodges you use too!

How you, or your clients travel today, can make an extraordinary difference to preserving wildlife.
