Winning a Responsible Tourism Award isn't a participation trophy, it's a benchmark.

Since 2004, an independent panel chaired by Prof. Harold Goodwin, founder of ICRT Global, has judged entries against real, measurable impact, not intentions. That's what makes recognition here carry weight with buyers, investors, and partners.

Gold winners don't stop at Africa either. They go on to compete in the Global Responsible Tourism Awards, up against the best from Latin America, Southeast Asia, Europe and beyond.

For the businesses who win, that credibility opens doors with the people who matter most to growing what you do.

Entries for 2027 dates are open now. Link in bio.

Six categories. One question behind all of them: is tourism actually making things better?

The Responsible Tourism Awards look beyond good intentions to measurable impact, for nature, for local economies, for culture, and for the people tourism so often overlooks. From protecting biodiversity to creating real economic benefit in local communities, each category exists because someone, somewhere, is proving it's possible to do tourism differently.

Swipe through to see what we're looking for this year. If your work fits one of these categories, this is your invitation to enter.

Entries are open. Link in bio.
