Launched in 2006, the Wild Asia Responsible Tourism Awards are back for 2013 with an extended selection of categories to honour innovative businesses that have excelled through the practice of responsible tourism. Now in their seventh year, the Awards are open to accommodation and tour operator businesses across Asia in all shapes and sizes, budgets and locations.
Grounded in the UN World Tourism Organization’s Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria, the Awards have helped to shape international standards for environmentally and socially sound tourism. The Wild Asia Awards remain the only Asia wide awards committed to recognising sustainable tourism and to date have seen more than two hundred entries.
Rewarding Responsible Practices
For Finalists of the Responsible Tourism Awards, the accolade and recognition validates business’s efforts in responsible tourism. The Awards give these enterprises an international platform to showcase their achievements in environmental best practices and support for local communities, demonstrating to the world that their businesses care.
The 2013 Awards' Winners will be announced at Asia's biggest business-to-business travel trade show ITB Asia in Singapore this October, as part of the international responsible tourism networking events.
Transparent Judging
Each year, Wild Asia works to improve the judging and transparency of the Awards. As a result, the 2013 Awards see an exciting international panel of judges, all with a minimum of 10 years responsible tourism experience from all corners of Asia. The 2013 Panel includes representatives from prestigious platforms such as the International Ecotourism Society, the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, Sustainable Travel International, and PATA.
Furthermore, each one of our Finalists will undergo rigorous judging and have a full report published on the Wild Asia website highlighting their achievements and why they were selected. These insightful reports will act as practical tools for inspiring other tourism operators to adopt their methods of best practice.
