The International Ecotourism Society (TIES), as part of its commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the founding of the world’s oldest and largest association dedicated to promoting ecotourism, has launched an annual Innovation Leadership in Sustainable Tourism Awards to recognize and honor accomplishments by sustainable tourism leaders and pioneers.
The award winners—individuals or organizations—will be honored for an innovative project, product or program developed in the previous year that supports the goal of uniting communities, conservation and sustainable travel.
The award, says Dr. Kelly Bricker, board chair of Washington, D.C.-based TIES, will honor those “driving positive change through leadership in conservation efforts and travel product development. It really is a wonderful opportunity to honor those making a difference.”
Nominations are being accepted until August 2nd for the 2010 TIES Innovation Awards. The winning 2 finalists will be honored at the Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism Conference, September 8–10, in Portland, Oregon.
