India Responsible Tourism Trail Launched

Monday, 28 Apr, 2009 0

The Green Circuit was launched ‘LIVE’ at the Responsible Tourism Network Meeting at SATTE, New Delhi. This is a collaborative initiative started by socialtours.com in February, which was pitched at ITB Berlin at the last network meeting.

This new product offers clients an opportunity to experience a selection of the best ‘responsible’ products in the Indian sub-continent. They can land at any of the many international airports, or arrive at a train station to start the journey, all of which is completed overland within the sub-continent, so as to reduce carbon emissions. The tour can then finish off at an international airport or a train station, or continued in one continuous circuit, or come back another time to continue on with the next product.

The product is being jointly marketed – it can be booked individually, or together with any of the partner operators. It is also being offered in international retail travel portals. It is customizable, so can be broken up into smaller trips to fit travelers’ requirements

Said Raj Gawali of the award-nominated operator “It is aimed to become a win win situation where ‘responsible’ operators and products hand hold, share, learn, link to the betterment of the whole.”

“With an aim to also make the trip "greener", we will also support by providing information and service support to connect to these products using train and ground travel. The products are also conveniently developed around international airport, so that access is easy.”
