The ICRT at Leeds Met is building a network of corresponding or "sister" organizations which are independent of the ICRT at Leeds Met which operates as the hub ICRT. The centres share a common purpose in developing and promoting the concept of Responsible Tourism, as defined in the Cape Town Declaration, through advocacy, education, training, research and consultancy. The Centres work independently of the ICRT at Leeds Met but often enter into partnerships with it to advance the cause of Responsible Tourism.
