The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) today issued a call for entries for the 2007 Tourism for Tomorrow Awards.

The awards, now in their third year under WTTC stewardship, are designed to promote and reward best practice in travel and tourism all over the world.

The four categories are:

Destination Award, for destinations of any size which show a commitment to responsible tourism development

Conservation Award, for any tourism organisation committed to the protection of natural and cultural heritage

Investor in People Award, for any tourism organisation which shows a commitment to human resource development and local community involvement

Global Tourism Business Award, for a tourism business of at least 200 employees operating in more than one destination which demonstrates responsible tourism practices.

The Awards are sponsored by several WTTC Members and other organisations, including British Airways, TAP, Opodo, and Fairmont Hotels and Resorts.

Media sponsors include Travelmole, BBC World, National Geographic Adventure and Newsweek.

Jean-Claude Baumgarten, WTTC President, said: “In recent years global consciousness of the importance of tourism has triggered a fresh look at the opportunities it represents and we invite all sectors of the industry to applaud the best practices in tourism, helping the development of sustainable growth in the future.”

The deadline for entries is December 11.

Nominations will be judged by 12 tourism experts from around the world and finalists will be subject to on-site verification visits.

Winners will be announced at a special ceremony during the 7th Global Travel and Tourism Summit held in Lisbon from May 10-12.
