Cook said the audits were part of its animal welfare policy, although it will continue to offer “animal-related” excursions.
In a statement posted to Twitter on Tuesday night Cook said: “We will continue to raise standards at the animal-related excursions that we offer, so that our customers can be confident in all of the trips that they take with us on holiday.”
In April it emerged that Cook was to stop selling tickets to some wildlife attractions to protect hundreds of dolphins, elephants and other animals from being used as entertainment for torusists.
The audit of 25 attractions by assessment company Global Spirit found that 16 did not meet the minimum standards for welfare set out by Abta.
The Sunday Times reported at the time that Cook had instructed its staff to stop selling tickets to those attractions.
