Responsible Tourism

Responsible tourism has taken a new course in France thanks to the Acting Association for Responsible Tourism. On 20 June 2014, a day of action for responsible tourism was held with three good news to share: the adoption of a Charter for responsible tourism; three new members to the association Acting for Responsible Tourism; fifty participants at the first opening ATR conference.
The APST looks back at this new step towards a more tourism responsable.À the occasion of his 10th birthday, Action for Responsible Tourism (ATR), a pioneer in sustainable development of tourism in France network, announced its commitment to open and to responsible tourism and gathered a powerful movement. ATR calls on the tourism and travel, and all the women and all who work for responsible tourism, to build together this movement.
A new charter for responsible tourism
The Charter for responsible tourism was developed during the 10 years of the association Acting for Responsible Tourism (ATR), with the aim to gather wider tourism operators claiming to responsible tourism, beyond the circle certified operators.
