Government websites that educate visitors about ecotourism and responsible
travel options are eligible to win Planeta.com’s third annual Ecotourism
Spotlight Award.
The award was developed to create incentives for communication,
opportunities for conversation and a reward for participation among
government leaders working toward ecotourism and responsible travel.
“Many tourism officials are figuring out Web 1.0 principles as locals and
visitors are seeking out the Web 2.0 experience,” said Planeta.com founder
Ron Mader. “The spotlight award helps nudge government leaders forward as we
give credit to those leading the pack.”
The winner is announced in celebration of World Tourism Day (September 27)
as way of spotlighting best practice in responsible travel and ecotourism.
