Sustainable Tourism Awards Logo Design Competition
Press Release
June 7, 2017

Sustainable Tourism Awards Logo Design Competition

The Ministry of Tourism, Sports and Culture invites designers and graphic artists who have strong artistic talent and a creative flare to participate in the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s (CTO) Sustainable Tourism Awards Logo Design Competition.

 
There are only 10 days left before the Logo Design Competition comes to a close.

We, therefore, encourage persons to submit entries as soon as possible and to share this opportunity with friends and colleagues who may be interested in participating. See below for details.

CTO’s Sustainable Tourism Awards

In the Caribbean, Sustainable Tourism Development is understood as “the optimal use of natural, cultural, social and financial resources for national development on an equitable and self-sustaining basis to provide a unique visitor experience and an improved quality of life through partnerships among government, the private sector and communities” (CTO Caribbean Sustainable Tourism Policy Framework, 2008).

In keeping with its mandate, CTO created the Caribbean Sustainable Tourism Awards aimed at identifying and showcasing Sustainable Tourism Good Practices in the Caribbean.

The Awards recognise individuals, groups, organisations or companies in any CTO Member Country which have developed responsible and unique tourism products, or are engaged in implementing tourism-related initiatives which embrace sustainability principles and core values. Without question, recognised initiatives also help to enhance national tourism product offerings and advance sustainable and responsible tourism in the Caribbean.

There are currently seven (7) Sustainable Tourism Award Categories namely:
  • Excellence in Sustainable Tourism
  • Destination Stewardship
  • Sustainable Accommodation

  • Community Benefit

  • Heritage Protection

  • Biodiversity Conservation

  • Agro-Tourism
