TripAdvisor announced on 12 October 2016 that it will no longer sell tickets to tourism experiences that allow contact with captive and endangered wild animals, such as elephant rides, tiger-petting and swim-with-dolphins attractions. The decision comes after a petition by the charity World Animal Protection gathered 558,000 signatures, placing pressure on TripAdvisor to rethink its policies.
