Kerala Tourism's print campaign on World Tourism Day encouraging travellers to save precious rain forests through their simple actions has won the 'Olive Crown Award' for communicating sustainability.
The print advertisement released on September 27, 2012 showing how a simple act like postponing a hotel laundry could help sustain rain forests, lifted the Award in the Press Services category, a state tourism press release said.
The Olive Crown Awards, given by the India chapter of the International Advertising Association ( IAA) recognises excellence in communicating sustainability, it said.
The advertisement featured the state's pristine hills and forests on a towel with a message, "A simple act can wipe away more than you can imagine," seeking to remind travellers "to put our simple acts together, every time we travel".
Kerala Tourism Secretary Suman Billa said the travel and tourism sector in the state was committed to promote sustainable tourism with the co-operation of the visitors.
"We firmly believe in the partnership between travellers and the trade towards conserving and preserving our nature," he said, adding "it would take only simple actions by travellers to show that they care for nature."
The Kerala Tourism's campaign was chosen for the award from entries from several other Asian countries.
