Over the last 10 years, The Indian Responsible Tourism Awards (IRTA) has celebrated the pioneers who are redefining travel with passion and purpose. Our journey is fuelled by a commitment to showcase innovative, sustainable tourism initiatives that honour India's rich cultural tapestry and natural beauty. Each year, we shine a spotlight on the remarkable individuals and organisations whose efforts are transforming the travel landscape—driving change, fostering community, and setting new benchmarks for ethical tourism.

Our Impact:

Our initiatives have sparked a nationwide movement, reaching over 50 million digital engagements and building a vibrant community of travel enthusiasts. We have forged partnerships with over 20 states and empowered local stakeholders, all while celebrating the achievements of over 250 trailblazing winners who inspire us with their commitment to responsible travel. These numbers reflect not only our growth but also our enduring influence in championing sustainable tourism practices across India.

We hope to build, inspire, support and amplify the voices of a vast network of responsible tourism stakeholders across the 29 states and 8 union territories of India.
