Event 6th International Conference on Responsible Tourism in Destinations

Planned as a side event to Rio +20, RTD6 provides a platform for intergovernmental organisations, governments, donors, industry, NGOs and academics to discuss the progress which has been made in making tourism more sustainable.

The 6th International Conference on Responsible Tourism in Destinations is being co-chaired by Prof Dr Harold Goodwin, of Leeds Metropolitan University and the ICRT, and Prof Dr Eduardo Sanovicz, University of Sao Paulo and former president of Embratur.

The Earth Summit in 1992 was focused on Environment and Development, the language is moving on with the adoption of Green Growth, but the challenge has not changed. The Sao Paulo Conference will focus on the themes of environment and development and provide an opportunity to debate progress since 1992 in making tourism more environmentally, socially and economically sustainable and to assess tourism’s contribution to development.
