World travel council touts tourism done right
The Great Barrier Reef was selected top destination of the year by the World Travel & Tourism Council. At a May 11 summit in Portugal, the travel industry forum gave kudos to the Australian agency that oversees the marine park for promoting eco-tourism and protecting a healthy reef. Other Tourism for Tomorrow Award winners include Aspen Skiing Co. in Aspen, Colo., for conservation; Nihiwatu Resort on Sumba Island in Indonesia, for improving the health and education in local communities; and Lindblad Expeditions, for sustainable and innovative eco-practices on its tours.
