One Traveller pledged to donates £7 per booking “towards making the world a better place” before saving up £3,500 and donating it to a worthy cause.

A spokesman said: “Animal welfare is an issue we receive many letters about and recently we have stopped visiting the Tiger Temples in Thailand and the Moscow State Circus in response to concerns raised by our guests.”

The company’s all-inclusive holidays give travellers the peace of mind that everything is paid for in advance of their trip, with no single supplements or single rooms.

They were founded in 2007 by Ian Darkin and his Norfolk born and raised wife Emma and now employs 21 people at their headquarters in Swaffham and over thirty people across the globe.

The spokesman added: “We are fully supportive of the RSPCA’s goals of ensuring all animals are respected and treated with compassion.

“Recently we have also acted to avoid disreputable elephant camps in Thailand and Sri Lanka and work closely with the Born Free Foundation in both countries.

“Many of our guests also tell us how moved they have been by some of the things they have seen and encountered, particularly in some of the poorer countries we visit.”
