It was a continuation of the milestone success of ICRTH2021.

Focusing on responsible tourism, ICRTH2022 adopted the theme “Mobilising Responsible Tourism into Actions: Towards Economic Prosperity, Socio-Cultural Inclusivity and Environmental Sustainability”. Though the event took place in Kuching Sarawak, it was organised using a hybrid mode.

Programs of ICRTH2022 included opening and closing ceremonies, keynote speeches, expert dialogues, industrial sessions, physical workshops and academic presentations. About 300 delegates attended the event physically despite the uncertainty revolving around the COVID-19 crisis. A responsible tourism fieldwork was organised after the conference on September 3-4.
