Abstract: Abstract With initiatives such as Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME), educational institutions have assumed the role in contributing towards a sustainable world. With effective implementation of the six principles in tourism education, it is expected that graduates would develop responsible attitude and take decisions in consideration with socio-economic and environmental sustainability. Education of not only the tourists but also of the tourism stakeholders is vital and plays an important role in sustainable development of a tourist destination. With frequent instance of overtourism been reported, it becomes necessary that business schools take initiative to come up with programmes under the PRME platform, hold discussions with stakeholders, introduce courses on community involvement and sustainable tourism to better deal with the phenomenon.
