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.
Nature Tourism can and must play an important role in saving the forests of India, today and for all our tomorrows.

PUG Ratings
 TOFT 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.
