The International Centre for Responsible Tourism global, or ICRT global, has been founded by emeritus professor Harold Goodwin, managing director of the Responsible Tourism Partnership.


It will launch two online training courses during the first half of 2025 focusing on responsible tourism and managing overtourism, with a third on the subject of creating shared value to follow.


Besides the online courses, ICRT global will offer bespoke training for organisations, as well as manuals and guidance to support universities interested in creating their own responsible tourism courses.
