The Indian Responsible Tourism Awards (IRTA) have recognised and applauded champions of ethical travel across the country since 2016. The goal is to inspire and motivate the local fraternity, highlight replicable RT models, and spread the word through digital, social and print platforms, including those owned by the Outlook Group.

IRTA is known for their formidable line-up of judges, and a thorough and transparent judging process. The judging process is both intensive and rigorous, spearheaded by a jury of industry experts from India, who are familiar with the country’s unique set of challenges, and international experts, who bring to the table their knowledge of global best practices.
