The Global Responsible Tourism Summit is an annual event that brings together tourism industry professionals, experts, and policymakers from around the world to discuss and share best practices for sustainable and responsible tourism. The summit aims to promote responsible tourism practices, foster collaboration among stakeholders, and raise awareness about the social, economic, and environmental impacts of tourism.
The summit typically includes a variety of sessions, workshops, and presentations on ecotourism, community-based tourism, cultural heritage tourism, sustainable tourism development, and responsible tourism marketing. It also allows attendees to network and share their experiences and insights with others in the industry.
