About Partners In Responsible Tourism

Partners in Responsible Tourism (PIRT) is a network of individuals and representatives of tourism companies who have a strong interest in adventure travel and ecotourism, who are concerned about the impact of tourism and tourism development on local environments and cultures, particularly those of indigenous peoples. We believe that responsible tourism promotes positive cultural and environmental ethics and practices: we promote travel which supports these goals.

Partners in Responsible Tourism has held educational seminars on tourism, the environment, and opportunities for alternative forms of travel. We sponsor quarterly activities or meetings in the San Francisco Bay area.  All communications are done through our email address shown below and through this website.

Among the members of Partners in Responsible Tourism are travel agents and travel industry associations, tour operators, educational and service-providing non-profit organizations. Some of those involved include: World Neighbors, LISLE, Escape Artists Travel, Himalayan High Treks, Universal Travel, Bell Travel, Adrift Adventures, Ecotours International, Colibri Adventures, Nature Treks, World Expeditions, World Explorer Cruises, and many supportive individuals.
