Approaching tourism in the Galapagos

Sustainability
Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands

Early bird tickets are now on sale for Galapagos Day 2026!
This year we tackle the question we get asked more than any other: should I go to Galapagos? Tourism generates income for both conservation and the local community, but it also brings negative impacts. Does this mean that tourists shouldn’t come? Or is there another way, a fresh approach to tourism that allows both people and nature to thrive?

Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking evening at 1 Wimpole Street in central London, as we celebrate the incredible wildlife of Galapagos, and discuss what all of us can do to protect it.

Galapagos Day takes place on Thursday 8 October 2026. Early bird tickets £20 if you book by 31 May.
