We are counting down to Monday 4 November when we formally launch ICRT global, with the support of easyJet holidays. And we unveil the winners of this year's #GlobalResponsibleTourismAwards, sponsored by Sabre Corporation. Thank you to all the panellists and speakers for our conference including Matt Callaghan, Tess Longfield, Martin Brackenbury Oddny Arnarsdottir Tim Williamson, Adama Bah, Jayni Gudka, Mike Benson and our founder Harold Goodwin. We'll be discussing mainstreaming responsible tourism, new models of responsible tourism and the responsible tourism movement. Then we'll be inspired by all the finalists and winners of the #GlobalResponsibleTourismAwards, sponsored by Sabre. This really is an exceptional awards programme which has now been running for 20 years. Every finalist has already won a regional award in either Latin America, Africa, the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, or a Rest of the World Category. It's free to enter and that means the smallest innovative ideas of best practice from around the world have the chance to compete with bigger organisations. It always throws up exciting new ideas which can be replicated elsewhere. For a dose of responsible tourism inspiration please read our incredible shortlist. https://lnkd.in/evundFHU. We'll also be using some of these ideas within our new 2025 online training programmes. #responsibletourism #sustainable #maketourismbetter
