WTM World Responsible Tourism Day and new Travel Philanthropy Report
This year the WTM World Responsible Tourism Day (WTMRTD) reflected the continued progress that ICRT and the responsible tourism movement more generally is making in engaging with the tourism industry. ICRT staff and former students were key speakers throughout the 3 day WTMRTD programme, and the Responsible Tourism Awards received more nominations than ever before.
Finally, the ICRT reception on the Wednesday was a great way to catch up with ICRT Alumni, friends, current students and associates and the evening continued until almost midnight!
