In India, responsible tourism works to integrate the country's residents with tourists to develop mutual respect that creates peaceful interactions between the two groups. Residents are involved in discussing decisions regarding tourism that affect them such as public transportation growth in major cities like Mumbai, Calcutta and Bangalore.
Responsible tourism seeks to better the economic structure of India. The tourism industry commits to hire only Tamil workers, purchasing goods and produce from local merchants and growers, and hire only Tamil plumbers, painters, artists, masons. This ensures that the benefits of tourism in India go directly to the Indian people.
Working to minimize environmental impacts and continuing to develop more sustainable products related to tourism is at the top of the list of responsible tourism; the effort to continue to make the capital city of New Delhi green and sustainable is one example.
