We’re a movement of conscious tourism committed to making a positive impact wherever we go.
At SETTA, we believe in the transformative power of travel. It has the ability to open our minds, broaden our horizons, and connect us with the world in ways nothing else can. But with this privilege comes a responsibility – a responsibility to protect and preserve the very places we explore.
In the diverse landscapes of India, where majestic mountains, serene beaches, vibrant cities, and ancient heritage sites come together, the seeds of SETTA were sown. Founded by passionate advocates for sustainable tourism, SETTA was born out of a deep love for this incredible country and a commitment to preserving its natural beauty and cultural richness for future generations.
Our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to promote responsible travel practices that not only benefit the environment but also uplift local communities. We recognized the urgent need to balance the economic benefits of tourism with the preservation of India’s unique ecological and cultural heritage. With this vision in mind, SETTA set out to lead by example, fostering collaboration among stakeholders and advocating for policies that support sustainable tourism.
At SETTA, we believe that travel can be a force for good. We are dedicated to creating travel experiences that are not only enriching for visitors but also beneficial for the people and places they encounter.
By providing information, resources, and support to our members, we empower them to make responsible choices that contribute to the long-term health and vitality of our global ecosystems.
Our initiatives are guided by a commitment to innovation and community engagement. We work closely with local businesses, government agencies, and non-profit organizations to develop and promote sustainable tourism practices across India. From organizing eco-friendly tours to conducting workshops on sustainable living, our efforts are aimed at making a positive impact on both the environment and the economy.
As we continue to grow, our vision remains clear: to transform India into a model of sustainable tourism. We envision a future where every traveler is a steward of the environment, every tourism business is committed to sustainability, and every community benefits from the economic opportunities that tourism brings. Together, we can create a world where travel preserves and enhances the natural, cultural, and economic environment.

We strive to lead the tourism industry by example, fostering collaboration among stakeholders, advocating for sustainable policies, and providing information and resources to empower our members.
