Our Responsible Tourism Checklist was first developed in 2003 to help provide practical guidance to tourism operators. Now in its 5th revision, the Checklist has gained from inputs from professionals in tourism, conservation, the environment, and labour and community issues. It has served for accommodation operators big and small - from the simplest to the most luxurious.
What is the Responsible Tourism Checklist?
The RT Checklist is a list of indicators that cover economic, environmental, and cultural aspects of tourism. The indicators are now aligned to the Global Sustainability Tourism Criteria, one of the first global, multi-stakeholder processes that include the World Tourism Organisation, Rainforest Alliance, and WWF as members of their panel. As you score the checklist, you will be able to derive an overall RT Score - essentially an indication of the number of Responsible Tourism indicators you currently practice in your operation.
