Welcome to the International Tourism Partnership




The International Tourism Partnership drives the responsible tourism business agenda. Together with its members of leading global travel and tourism companies, the International Tourism Partnership assists the industry to make a valuable contribution to the countries and cultures in which they operate, to their customers, their shareholders and future generations.


Shareholders, employees and customers all have higher expectations of a business’ ability to demonstrate responsible behaviour across the triple bottom line of economic, social and environmental management that goes beyond philanthropy. The integration of responsible business into every level of the operation will enhance reputation and improve market share and position. It will provide better risk management, guarantee a license to operate, contribute to a company’s ability to attract and retain the best employees, and ultimately reduce costs.

Stephen Farrant, Director of the International Tourism Partnership writes an article for The World Travel Market World Responsible Tourism Day

In the article, Stephen discusses how environmental and social responsibilty have been placed on the agendas of global company boards.
