Travelers — are you looking for businesses to support on your travels that do tourism right?
Or do you know a worthy individual who has put his or her heart into a sustainable endeavor?
Well, you’re in luck. National Geographic and Ashoka’s Changemakers are just getting the second annual Geotourism Challenge started, seeking out and honoring individuals devoted to “tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place — its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage and the well-being of its residents.”
Sounds about right, doesn’t it?
Head to the competition website to nominate worthy innovators, check out the other nominees, and engage in a constructive discussion about sustainable travel. The nomination phase closes May 20, 2009.
After that date, the competition’s panel of judges will create a shortlist of finalists — and after that, it’s back to us to vote!
