WTTC Blueprint

TOURISM FOR TOMORROW AWARDS

In 2003, the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) launched its vision statement - the Blueprint for New Tourism. Outlining a multi-stakeholder vision, the Blueprint for New Tourism "looks beyond short-term considerations... and focuses on benefits not only for people who travel, but also for people in the communities they visit, and for their respective natural, social and cultural environments." One way in which WTTC exemplifies that vision for New Tourism is with the Tourism for Tomorrow Awards.

WTTC is proud to announce a newly formed partnership with greentravelguides.tv. Greentravelguides.tv has generously agreed to produce short videos for each of the 4 Tourism for Tomorrow Awards 2009 winners free to distribute for promotional purposes. This is the first time since WTTC has taken over the Tourism for Tomorrow Awards that this opportunity is given to the Award winners. Greentravelguides.tv is the world's first internet television channel for sustainable tourism.
