Responsible Tourism Awards
It’s that time of year again – here are the finallists
Responsible tourism has made great strides over the last 20 years or so and one of the ways to inform the general public is to showcase best practice and heartwarming stories.
The greatest of all responsible tourism showcases is the annual awards. Like Harold Goodwin says:
"To become a Finalist in the World Responsible Tourism Awards is a significant achievement, it marks you out as a leader in Responsible Tourism; it carries a responsibility to exercise leadership. The purpose of the WRTA is to inspire, educate and challenge. Our purpose in organising the Awards has not changed since they were launched back in 2004 – we want to encourage change in the industry, to single out for recognition those who are taking responsibility and can evidence that they are having a positive impact, that they are making tourism better."
"Leaders stand out from the crowd. When the Awards are presented at World Travel Market in London on World Responsible Tourism Day, Wednesday 7th November, at noon, Tanya Beckett will interview the Gold winners about what they have done, why and what they have achieved. We’ll be asking about why it makes business sense to take responsibility."
