Fundación InterMundial, in collaboration with FITUR, the international tourism fair, has opened entries for the show’s 2019 Responsible Tourism Prize.
A jury of professionals from the tourism sector will choose a winner for each of the categories below, with prizes presented at FITUR 2019. The show, organised by IFEMA, runs at Feria de Madrid 23-27 January.
In 2017, the awards' first year, there were 56 candidates from 13 countries for the award. It was launched to recognise the involvement of exhibiting companies at FITUR which are working to develop and stimulate tourism that respects the environment, the economy and the local community.
Companies need to be nominated by 4 January 2019. Full details can be found on the FITUR website
