WTM World Responsible Tourism Day

ETW Staff - Mumbai

World Travel Mart (WTM), which will be held from November 12 to 15, 2007 in London, will offer the travel and tourism industry an opportunity to become one powerful and unifying force, through its World Responsible Tourism Day on November 14, 2007 that is being supported by the UNWTO.

This will offer the trade a chance to make a real difference that will keep our beaches clean, preserve our stunning scenery, save wildlife and glory in our historic buildings and precious heritage. There is a responsibility too to help local people, wherever they might be, and provide them with shelter, jobs, clean water, food and education, protect them from exploitation, corruption and deceit. Making the difference personally and corporately is what WTM's World Responsible Tourism Day is all about.
