It seems that collaboration on pushing forward the responsible tourism agenda may be out of the question once again with another travel company.

The Fringe Travel Network, Your Safe Planet, Make Travel Fair, whl.travel, Planeta, VISION on sustainable tourism, the Blue Yonder, Travel to Care, Rough Guides, Lonely Planet, Footprints, Wanderlust, Sawdays, Bradt Guides,  Greentraveller amongst others have all come together recently to participate in Responsible Tourism focused Webinars.  Resources are stretched to provide these free of charge, to run them and to organise them, any collaboration is welcomed.

It seems this travel community approach and collaboration on such a big and important issue is beyond the scope though of responsibletravel.com who are alledgedly planning to run their own series of Webinars shortly following our success.  I must say it’s no surprise to hear this but a little disappointing.

If you do indeed have plans to branch into this area responsibletravel.com, can we not all come together as an industry to provide interesting discussions for travellers using this tool?
