Now going in to our third year, Wild Asia’s 2008 Responsible Tourism Awards will be held in October. Through the awards we have the opportunity to recognize the efforts of tourism operators who are committed to following the principles of Responsible Tourism.
The awards and seminar are the chance for us to bring together the leading practitioners of Responsible Tourism in the region. This 3-day event focuses not only on highlighting the best resorts and initiatives in Asia and South East Asia, but also on sharing knowledge and experience of putting Responsible Tourism in to practice and therefore encourage other operators to make Responsible Tourism part of their business strategy.
Wild Asia's Tree Planting Programme was set up to promote the planting of native tree species in the region for the benefit of local wildlife and our planet. Buy a tree (or two) or learn more how you could get involved. Click for more info
