The second International Conference on Responsible Tourism in Destinations, scheduled to be held in Kochi from September 21, has been postponed.
According to a senior Kerala Tourism official, the event will now be held in Kochi in March next year.
The event, which is being organised by Kerala Tourism in partnership with the UK-based International Centre for Responsible Tourism (ICRT) and ICRT-India, is likely to begin on March 21 and conclude on March 24.
It is being positioned as a follow-up to the first such conference held in Cape Town, South Africa in 2002 as a side event preceding the World Summit on Sustainable Development.
The conference's organisers were forced to reschedule the event as the conference dates in September coincide with a major tourism event being organised in New York by India's Tourism Ministry.
Kerala Tourism is scheduled to play a major role in the New York event, the official said.
