Sarà la storica Riserva Archeologica di Cahal Pech in Belize ad ospitare i World Sustainable Travel & Hospitality Awards (“WSTHA”). I vincitori saranno decretati dai leader del turismo sostenibile nella riunione del 27 settembre 2024.
Cahal Pech si trova nella città di San Ignacio ed è una collezione di templi Maya che fu colonizzata per la prima volta tra il 1.200 e il 1.000 a.C. Il ricevimento VIP costituirà il culmine di una serie di esperienze curate che consentiranno ai delegati di esplorare il Belize.
I World Sustainable Travel & Hospitality Awards servono a riconoscere, celebrare e condividere le storie di individui e organizzazioni che accelerano il cambiamento e danno un contributo di impatto nei viaggi e nel turismo sostenibili.
The WSTHA programme is run in partnership with the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, whose members and partners represent over 50,000 hotels, 7 million rooms globally, 270 brands, and 40+ supply chain and strategic partners.
Glenn Mandziuk, CEO, World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, says: “As we prepare to unveil the winners of the inaugural World Sustainable Travel & Hospitality Awards in Belize, we are not just celebrating achievements; we are setting a new standard for our industry. These awards honour the inspiring leaders who are driving transformative change towards our vision of Net Positive Hospitality, marking a crucial step in our journey to create a sustainable future for travel and tourism.”
All entries to the WSTHA 2024 programme were assessed by Sustainable Business students from Nova Business School, with the shortlist then analysed and approved by the WSTHA Advisory Board, ahead of the public vote.
The WSTHA Advisory Board selected the 21 WSTHA categories to reflect the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and net positive framework of People, Planet, Place, Prosperity and Partnerships.
WSTHA is the sister event of World Travel Awards, currently celebrating its 31st anniversary.
