A laywoman in the United Presbyterian Church in the United States, Virginia Hadsell (1922 - ), helped coordinate a consultation in 1984 titled Tourism: The Human Dimension. The consultation was held at the San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo, California. This meeting led to the establishment of the Center for Responsible Tourism. In a 1993 informational flyer about CRT, they describe themselves as "a para-church/tourism-activist organization which confronts North Americans with the impact we have as tourists on our sisters and brothers in the Third World, on their cultures, economy, and environment." This included the issues of sex tourism, and the prostitution and trafficking of women and children as well as tourism's impact which can cause cultural and environmental destruction.
