As the youth need to travel to learn about life and witness the diversity around the world, they also need to be sensitised to their responsibilities when travelling. This will then ensure that their actions have a minimal negative impact on the environment. Responsible Tourism is about “making better places for people to live in and better places for people to visit.” After the formal session an interactive session on “Responsible Tourism” by the distinguished guest, Mr. Hareesh S was conducted. 75 students participated.
