Bucket list travel, eco-tourism and community conservation
In the latest episode of the new season of Accor’s industry leading podcast, Heart of Hospitality, Duncan is joined by Adrian and Paul Gardiner, father and son CEOs of Mantis Collection, a leading conservation-focused hotel group that offers true bucket list experiences. They share their journey from Adrian’s first farm in South Africa to becoming international ambassadors for the preservation of wildlife, establishing the Community Conservation Fund Africa (CCFA) and working with Bear Grylls. They discuss their belief that as eco-tourism becomes more important than ever it is important to integrate communities and spearhead education and awareness programs in order to raise awareness and appreciation of our precious planet and precarious ecologies.
