The Second International Conference on Responsible Tourism in Destinations concluded in Kochi, Kerala on the 24th of March 2008 with the adoption of the Kerala Declaration that put forth a call for action to all the stakeholders in tourism.

The Kerala Conference saw academicians and representatives from government agencies, NGOs, media and the travel and tourism industry from the state, national and international arena sharing their expertise and experiences to take forward the Responsible Tourism agenda across the world. Around 503 Indian and foreign delegates and 61 speakers from over 29 countries attended the Conference.

Kerala Tourism was privileged to host the Conference and we dedicate this site to further the cause of Responsible Tourism across the world. In the journey ahead, we hope this website will be a repository of the best practices in Responsible Tourism as well as a lively discussion forum.
