Emirates Hotels & Resorts, Whale Watch Kaikoura, Accor and Botswana Tourism Board have just been named as the four winners of this year's WTTC Tourism for Tomorrow Award winners.
Announced during the 10th Global Travel & Tourism Summit in Beijing, the four tourism organisations were recognised for their efforts in advancing sustainable tourism best practices in different parts of the world.
"We are seeing a new horizon in the global Travel & Tourism industry where more and more companies and destinations, both large and small are leading the way forward in demonstrating that tourism can be an opportunity for protecting our planet and delivering tangible social and economic benefits," said Costas Christ, Tourism for Tomorrow Awards Judge.
"We are in a global transformation of the Travel & Tourism industry as we have known it. With these awards we commend these innovation and successes in sustainable best practices."
