Our Impact at ICRTH2024: A Step Toward Sustainable Tourism
Walk The Himalayas proudly participated in the International Conference on Responsible Tourism and Hospitality (ICRTH2024) held in Kuching, Sarawak, Borneo. This global platform explored diverse facets of inclusive, responsible, and sustainable tourism, emphasizing measurable sustainability and the role of the happiness quotient in tourism practices.
Key Highlights
Impact Speaker Session:
Our co-founders, Subrata Roy and Souvik Mukherjee, were honored to be invited as Impact Speakers by Prof. Dr. Hiram Ting. We presented on the Himalayan diaspora and the lives, traditions, and resilience of the inhabitants and natives of the Himalayas, sharing insights into their unique connection with sustainable tourism.Tangible contact with nature’s reality is too large a sacrifice for any part of society to make. There are real dangers involved. There are huge pitfalls if we drift apart from closeness and respect for the natural environment.

Advance study and research on sustainable tourism in the Himalayas.

Stay connected as we roll out exciting initiatives in collaboration with our global partners, inspired by the spirit of ICRTH2024.
