Ethical Responsible Sustainable Tourism

Recognising meaningful impact in youth and student travel

This award celebrates organisations that go beyond box-ticking. It recognises those who embed sustainability, ethics and social responsibility into the heart of their business and who actively demonstrate how youth and student travel can be a force for good.

Whether it’s reducing environmental impact, building partnerships with local communities, or supporting travellers in making better choices, this award honours businesses walking the walk, not just talking the talk.

Tell us how your business currently operates in an ethical, responsible, and sustainable way, how you’ve developed those practices over the past two years, what successes you’ve achieved, and what steps you plan to take in the next year to keep improving and why.
