Gold at ICRT Europe Responsible Tourism Awards!

We were absolutely thrilled to be recognised by the ICRT Europe Responsible Tourism Awards in Brussels last week, winning the top Gold Award in the Nature Positive category. The International Centre for Responsible Tourism (ICRT) Global is a non-profit organisaiton on a mission to share more knowledge and understanding of responsible tourism, and these awards shine a light on outstanding leadership and innovative, replicable ideas being created across the travel industry. Our commitment to protecting endangered species and habitats by using our own profits to create wildlife reserves in Italy, Scotland and Ecuador was commended by the judges, who said our long-term investment to support conservation and biodiversity made Naturetrek stand out on a global basis. It was a hugely inspiring evening in Brussels where we celebrated the very best in responsible tourism alongside some amazing, forward-thinking hotels, projects and tour operators.

This year's ICRT awards were held in Africa, Latin America, the Indian Subcontinent, South-east Asia and Europe. As Gold winners at European level, we will now go on to contend for a Global Responsible Tourism Award in London next month... we will let you know how we get on!
