MOSSEL BAY NEWS - Skål International has called for submissions for its 2018 Sustainable Awards.
Skål International is an affiliate member of the UNWTO, whose mission is to promote the development of responsible, sustainable and universally accessible tourism.
Following the United Nations declaration of 2002 as the Year of Ecotourism and the Mountains, Skål International launched these awards in the same year, to highlight and acknowledge best practices around the globe.
As an international organisation of tourism industry leaders, Skål International is a powerful force in the travel and tourism industry, initiating change and encouraging the conservation of the environment to promote tourism and travel.
During 2017 the International Skål Congress, Skål South Africa walked away with three of the nine awards.
Any company from the public and private sector, NGOs, government agencies and individuals worldwide are welcome to submit an entry in one of the following available categories: Community and Government Projects; Countryside and Biodiversity; Educational Institutions/Programmes and Media; Major Tourist Attractions; Marine and Coastal; Rural Accommodation; Tour Operators-Travel Agents; Tourism Transport; Urban Accommodation.
Participation in these prestigious awards is beneficial to enhance visibility and get recognition of your outstanding performance in terms of sustainable and responsible tourism; to increase your contacts and introduce your products and services to professionals from the tourism industry from all over the world and to obtain media coverage among the entire Skål membership worldwide and its international press contacts.
Entries and promotional videos can be submitted online at www.skal.org before 30 June 2018 and entry is free.
Awards can be collected in person during the opening ceremony of the 79th Skål World Congress in October in Kenya, an excellent opportunity to network with tourism professionals from all over the world and attend the B2B workshop.
