I would like to echo your concerns about elephant camps. Elephant riding is not animal abuse if it done properly. Walking 3-10 km a day is important for the health of captive elephants. Peer-reviewed academic studies have reported that elephant riding is a positive experience for this reason. It is possible to replace this with non-riding trekking, where the elephant and human walk together. However, research has shown that elephants can carry up to 15% of their body weight without significant changes in gait pattern or physical pain, so there is no moral superiority in not riding. In addition, in the secondary terrain of the undulating flat forest in our elephant camp, ordinary tourists cannot keep up with the elephants, so walking with the elephants without riding them to satisfy the aesthetic values of some tourists is just a hindrance to the elephants. Another study has shown that elephants were bored and showed the highest obesity and stress levels at sites that banned elephant riding for marketing to Western tourists. In tourist elephant camps, even if there is a fair amount of forest, the elephants freedom often tend to result that they get bored of doing nothing. Of course, this boredom can be compensated for by a proper enrichment program like those in zoos, but it is questionable whether this can provide a much better activity for the elephants than the elephant rides offered for tourists. When elephant riding is done poorly, it can raise animal welfare concerns, but when it is done well, it can be a positive experience for both the elephants and the humans. Our elephant camp website has more detailed explanations and references to academic studies, and we are sure that after reading it you will understand that supporting proper elephant tourism is part of responsible tourism.
