Nominations open for WTM responsible tourism awards
Tourism organisations are invited to nominate themselves for a World Responsible Tourism Award, the winners of which will be announced at this year’s World Travel Market in November.
The awards scheme, co-founded and organised by Responsible Travel, is part of WTM’s World Responsible Tourism Day – the largest day of responsible tourism action in the world – which takes place on Wednesday November 4 and celebrates the most inspiring and innovative examples of responsible tourism in practice globally.
Businesses, organisations, initiatives and destinations who would like to be considered for an award should go to www.worldresponsibletourismawards.com/submissions by Monday April 6.
Responsible Travel managing director Justin Francis said: "The principles of responsible tourism can apply to any business, mainstream or niche – it’s what makes the awards so exciting.
"We want to play an active role in creating and encouraging a more caring tourism industry and the winners of these awards, big or small, will set examples the rest of the tourism industry can and should follow.
"I’m very excited about being able to discover and share their stories this year."
