On the occasion of the 2017 International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, a number of responsible travel agencies in Japan has united to establish the Alliance of Responsible Travel
Agencies. We are committed to deliver high quality tourism products and services. The members are all specialized in delivering the unique local experiences that you do not see in the bigger wholesaler mainstream travel agencies. What differentiates us from other businesses is our ability to truly connect with our customers and the local communities, and provide the exceptional, compassionate service the tourism stakeholders deserve.
We believe that the responsible travelers and travel agencies always come first – and that means exceptional tourism products and exceptional services. Introducing Travelife for tour operators and offering Japan-credit carbon-neutral products are just a few of our commitments to be demonstrated. https://jarta.org/
