THE World Travel Market World Responsible Tourism Day (WTM WRTD), supported by the UNWTO, wants the travel and tourism industry to work together to educate both the industry and the public on ways of adopting responsible practices, and to explore how destinations are made more sustainable, including case studies of best practices.
Any company engaged in responsible tourism can get involved with WTM WRTD, which takes place this year on Wednesday November 11. Benefits include using the 2009 WTM WRTD logo, an invitation to attend the special networking reception, recognition in the official WTM catalogue, the opportunity to have a quote from key spokespeople within your organisation posted on the WTM WRTD website and links to this website, and logo users can also contact the Spotlight industry magazine regarding possible entries.
In 2008 nearly 150 travel companies and organisations successfully applied to take part. There is an official logo available for 2009, and anyone wishing to participate can apply for it now by completing the WTM WRTD form on the www.wtmwrtd.com website.
