In order to contribute to the creation of a collective consciousness of tourism based on the principles of sustainability, the Responsible Tourism Institute (RTI) has adapted the principles emanating from the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) to the reality of the Tourist Agents at a global level. Such adaptation will promote the dissemination of the SDGs, facilitating their adoption at all levels established by the UN: governments, civil society and the private sector.
From the RTI we consider tourism, by its scope and dimension, a key vector to drive the adoption of this commitment by destinations worldwide. For this reason, the Technical Committee and the RTI Scientific Committee are working on the extraction and adaptation of the objectives and goals of the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development, offering a more specific interpretation of the objectives and defining the fields of action of the tourism industry for its fulfillment through the Sustainable Tourism System and its international recognition, the Biosphere Responsible Tourism Seal.
