World Sustainable Travel & Hospitality Awards 2024 Extends Entry Deadline

The World Sustainable Travel & Hospitality Awards (WSTHA) has extended its 2024 call for entries deadline to May 31 for its first edition.

Launched in 2023 at COP 28 in Dubai on World Tourism Day, the WSTHA serves to recognize, celebrate, and share the stories of those making an impactful contribution in sustainable travel and tourism.

Individuals and organizations across the globe accelerating change and contributing in net positive tourism are invited to enter for free, with just one week left before the closing deadline.

“We are delighted to extend the entry deadline of the inaugural WSTHA program to 31 May,” said WSTHA Executive Vice-President Justin Cooke.

An Advisory Board of experts chose 21 categories to reflect the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and net positive framework of People, Planet, Place, Prosperity and Partnerships.

“We welcome entries from across the sustainable travel and hospitality sector, with our goal to recognize and tell the stories of those accelerating change and making a sustainable impact on our planet for the next generation,” Cooke added.

Global voting, open to travel and tourism professionals, will run from June 14 to August 2.

Leaders in sustainable travel will also be invited to attend the inaugural WSTHA Gala Ceremony in Belize, the Official Host Destination, on 27 September when the winners will be revealed.

As Official Host Destination of WSTHA 2024, Belize holds responsible tourism at its core and develops projects that encourage travelers to engage with its rainforests, reefs and unique culture in a sustainable manner.
