What does it mean to be a Partner for Responsible Travel?
Organisations participating in the Partner for Responsible Travel Programme have voluntarily chosen to work collaboratively in support of responsible tourism, worker welfare, environmental stewardship, and positive visitor experiences.
The programme provides a platform for collaboration, shared learning, and the exchange of knowledge, information and experience that contribute to the continuous improvement of responsible tourism practices.
