Official Supporters of WTM’s World Responsible Tourism, Day undergo strict monitoring to ensure that they are upholding the underlying principles of The Cape Town Declaration. They are excellent examples of just what a difference a travel business can make to the environment and local communities. In addition to year-round activity, many also celebrate WTM World Travel Market in their own special and enterprising way. |
We will be featuring some of these businesses and their responsible tourism work in the WTM WRTD newsletters and the dedicated Spotlight colour magazine, available on the day and via the WTM WRTD website.
