Recognising Excellence
Responsible Tourism Awards
Help reward responsible tourism
Join in to help us support and recognise responsible tourism with the Virgin
Holidays Responsible Tourism Awards. We are headline sponsor of the awards,
organised by responsibletravel.com in partnership with The Telegraph, World
Travel Market and Geographical Magazine.
The central tenet of the Awards is that all types of tourism - from niche to mainstream - can and should be operated in a way that respects and benefits destinations and local people. The Awards recognise individuals, companies and organisations in the travel industry that are making a significant commitment to the culture and economies of local communities and are providing a positive contribution to biodiversity conservation.
The Responsible Tourism Awards are different from other awards schemes in that winners are nominated by tourists. One of the founding principles of the Awards is to always seek out new responsible tourism ventures that deserve to be celebrated and your nominations are fundamental to this process.
The award ceremony is held at World Travel Market in November each year. To find out this years winners click here:

"Recognising those in our industry that put sustainability on the agenda and keep it there, mirrors our own position as a tour operator taking an active role in shaping a sustainable reality for travel. We see these awards as an outward statement of our continued commitment to sustainable tourism solutions, as new community projects, research and industry partnerships drive our own efforts and progress behind the scenes at Virgin Holidays."
Amanda Wills, Managing Director of Virgin Holidays
Human Nature Collection
We're determined to move beyond the idea that responsible holidays need be difficult or boring. With our history of innovation, we're uniquely placed to help people enjoy adventures that are good for local communities, low impact on our planet, and more fun for everyone.
The Human Nature Collection was launched to make it easier for our customers to choose more responsibly when travelling abroad by hand picking holidays that maximise benefits to local communities and the environment.
