Virgin Holidays Responsible Tourism Awards 2008

Nominations for the Virgin Holidays
Responsible Tourism Awards 2008 closed on Monday 16 June. Nominations were up
on last year with 1900 nominations received. Evidence that interest in
Responsible Tourism is growing, and make the job of the judges more
challenging.

Katie Frewing of Responsible Travel
adds “We have seen some great nominations come in ? some old faces but
some brand new ones too! – with a good spread across the 13 categories.

The nominations are now with the
team from Harold Goodwin’s International
Centre for Responsible Tourism.  They are
going through them, checking responsible tourism policies and doing background
research to decide who should make the long list in each category.
