Take the next step on the way to a human right conform tourism… join the RT network of members. The Roundtable Human Rights in Tourism is the biggest sector dialogue on Human Rights in Tourism, bringing together various stakeholders from six countries. Any tourism business and any institution interested in promoting sustainable tourism and human rights in tourism can become a member of the Roundtable. This is independent of previous experiences in this field. In particular, small and medium-sized tourism businesses are invited to become member, get involved in the field of "human rights in tourism" and to benefit from existing know-how and best practices. Open and honest communication between members is crucial to develop trust, which forms the basis for collaboration within the Roundtable. The Roundtable strongly supports that not only similar opinions are shared, but that differences are also addressed in a respectful way, in order to understand the extent of conflicting interests and needs present.
