The Pinwheel lies at the Heart of BRIDGES
An emblem of simplicity, movement, and quiet power. Rooted in craft yet guided by science, it turns effortlessly with the wind, symbolising efficiency, balance, and responsiveness to the forces around us.
We are at a pivotal moment in travel. A shift that cannot be ignored. A movement that calls for responsibility, tourism that responds to the reality of destinations and grows with, not at the cost of, communities.
It would have been ideal to begin with clear frameworks and perfect benchmarks. But change is rarely linear. What we see instead is a spectrum, greenwashing, fence-sitters, and those taking tentative steps forward. These are not failures; they are signs of an evolving global consciousness.

Travel designers, companies, and organisations working to redefine tourism as a force for good are invited to join and be hosted at the subcontinent’s only carbon-accounted event, building towards net zero.
BRIDGES for Conscious Travel is committed to strengthening its sustainability journey by quantifying every aspect of its carbon footprint for Scope 1, Scope 2 and partial Scope 3 emissions. The event is probably one of India’s first travel events to undertake a realistic inventory of greenhouse gas emissions as per globally instituted norms while also taking steps towards mitigation and offsets through internationally validated credits.

Curated by RARE, BRIDGES 2025 was designed on two key ideas around travel. That tourism's primary beneficiary must be the community while remaining authentic to the destination. Secondly, travel is a multifaceted activity that thrives at the intersection of crafts, performing arts, culture, festivals, nature and conservation.
