The completed criteria forms will be returned to the BTA voting office and passed onto a panel of experts with will judge the winners.

The winners of the environmentally responsible tourism awards will receive their trophies from Institute of Travel & Tourism chief executive Steven Freudmann at the BTAs in London on November 9.

Following the awards ceremony, the winners will be sent a special BTA winner logo which will clearly define their status as a company which the industry has recognised for their efforts in promoting environmentally responsible tourism.
