Skal Sustainable Development in Tourism awards call for nominations

Friday, 07 Mar, 2011 0

Deadline for submission 30 April: Award announcement 19 September

Entries are open to all members of the tourism industry to submit for the 10th Annual Skål  “SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT in Tourism” Awards.

Following the declaration by the United Nations of 2002 as the Year of Ecotourism and the Mountains, Skål International launched the Ecotourism Awards that same year to highlight and acknowledge best practices around the globe.

Says Skal: “These awards highlight best practices in tourism around the world and also serve the purpose of acquainting the world with this new concept that puts emphasis on the importance of the interaction of the physical, cultural and social environment the traveller’s responsibility and the need for active community participation for Sustainability.”

“Eco and Responsible Tourism are only a small part of Sustainable Tourism. To have a greater impact and recognition in the Sustainable Development domain in tourism, we want to consider Eco and Responsible Tourism as part of the greater picture of Sustainable Tourism. Therefore, one of the main differences this year is that, from now on, the awards will be known as “SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT in Tourism” Awards.”

This year, the deadline for receipt of entries in triplicate at the General Secretariat is 30 April 2011.

The winners of the “SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT in Tourism” Awards will be announced by President, Tony Boyle, during the Opening Ceremony of the 72nd Skål World Congress to be held in Turku, Finland, on 19th September 2011.
