The Tourism for Tomorrow selection and judging process was completely renewed in 2005. After an initial screening to ensure that applications adhere to the basic rules, there will be three stages in the judging process.

Stage 1: Selection of finalists
All applications which pass the initial screening will be reviewed by a selection committee of 12 experts. The committee will draw up a shortlist of up to 3 applications for each category. Click here to see the 2007 Finalist Selection Committee.

Stage 2: On-site verification
Each of the finalists will be visited by a Tourism for Tomorrow expert representative who will conduct an on-site verification inspection. Once the verifications are complete, the finalists will be announced to the press and a short brochure will be produced outlining each initiative.

Stage 3: Judging Panel
A panel, chaired by Costas Christ, and consisting of high profile leaders in the field of responsible travel, will select a winner for each category from the list of finalists. Winners will be invited to the 8th Global Travel & Tourism Summit held in spring 2008 in Dubai to receive their awards. Winners will also be announced to the press and featured by some or all of our sponsors. Click here for the 2008 final judging panel.
