Tourism for tomorrow contenders unveiled
Virgin Atlantic and Hong Kong Airport in finals
The 2018 Finalists cut across five continents in the following categories: Community, Destination, Environment, Innovation and People.
The WTTC Tourism for Tomorrow Awards, now in its 14th year, showcases business practices of the highest standards that balance the needs of ‘people, planet and profits’ within our sector.
All 15 Finalists should illustrate great commitment to support a change in policies, business practices and consumer behaviour towards a more sustainable tourism sector.
Gloria Guevara, President & CEO of WTTC said: "Sustainable growth is one of the sector’s most pressing challenges and a strategic priority for WTTC. The Tourism for Tomorrow Awards showcase the very best examples of how our sector is addressing this challenge, and contributing in a positive way to the sustainable development goals and a better world for all.
WTTC currently estimates global Travel & Tourism to have grown by nearly 4% in 2017, we have to ensure we safeguard the environment, local communities and cultural heritage, and our Awards programme calls on tourism businesses to showcase just that."
