Plett awarded at World Trade Market
PLETTENBERG BAY - Plettenberg Bay Tourism was thrilled to announce their remarkable achievement in winning an esteemed Responsible Tourism Award at the World Travel Market (WTM) on 13 April in Cape Town.
World Travel Market Africa is a prestigious trade fair in the travel and tourism industry held annually in Cape Town. It is a central meeting point for experts and decision-makers from the African tourism industry, attracting thousands of international visitors each year.
The accolade, which was presented to Plett Tourism for the Plett Ocean Festival in the categories of 'NaturePositive Tourism' and 'One to Watch', acknowledges Plett's commitment to sustainable tourism and eco-conscious initiatives within the travel industry.
CEO of Plett Tourism Patty Butter-worth was delighted to accept the award.
WTM Africa - and its flagship, World
Travel Market, held in London each year - are among the world's most recognisable travel and tourism expo brands.
The WTM Africa event attracts a mix of more than 6 000 hosted buyers, inbound and outbound operators, media representatives and travel professionals for an annual event principally staged at the Cape Town International Conference Centre.
WTM Africa's Responsible Tourism Awards champion the best work in responsible tourism on the continent.
The awards celebrate those devoted to sustainability, consistently generating positive influence and setting exemplary standards.
The goal of the awards is to unearth, acknowledge, and promote good practice. Recognising those businesses and destinations demonstrates that fostering transformation and spearheading innovative initiatives are about the welfare and sustainability of tourism.
"We are excited to receive recognition by the tourism industry and the World Travel Market's Responsible Tourism Awards with a Certificate of Recognition," said Butterworth. "Receiving a 'NaturePositive' award testifies to Plett Tourism's commitment to the preservation and harmony of our oceans, marine life and coastline. To be honoured in this category is not only about recognition by one's peers but also by the grandest judge of all: nature itself."
Plett Tourism extends its gratitude to all partners, volunteers, presenters, NPOs, businesses and attendees whose support has been instrumental in the Plett Ocean Festival's recognition at these awards and in the success of the festival to date.
"Through the ocean festival, and other initiatives, we believe that we can collaboratively create a world where tourism thrives, sustainably," says Butterworth.
