Three years after the Outlook Responsible Tourism Summit started — as a
mere reaction to toxic forms of tourism in India, affecting local communities,
cultures and the environment — it has now come of age. The evidence of
this and of the sense of community that it has built over time was on full
display at the ITC Maurya on February 10, where several fantastic travel
businesses also took the coveted Awards home. With like-minded homestay
owners, hoteliers, tour operators, academics, writers and conservationists
from across India, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the UK and
the US under the same roof, it was clear that conscious travel is not a pipe
dream anymore. It’s the only way forward.- Manganiyar Chanan Khan, India’s only surmandal player, performs with his
